I just got back from the range today and I am highly frustrated.
I am shooting a 6.5x284 with Berger VLD 140 target bullets and 50.5 grains of H4831
My groups at 100 are great..The gun shoots in the .2s and .3s and an on a few occasions has shot in the .0s
I shot today and 100 and printed some great groups. I moved over to the 200 yard range and thats were the frustration began.
My groups opened up to 1-2"..The were strung from the top right to the bottom left and they were strung on a diagnal.
This happened on 3 consectutive 5 shot groups.
I have confidence that the rifle and all of the components are sound.
I had the Bergers jammed just a little. Would seating depth have anything to do with the unsatisfactory groups? If so why would if group so well at 100 and not at 200?
Please give me some suggestions..
Here is a picture of a 6 shot group at 100. The one that fell out of the group was due to a flinch so I fired another just to make sure. The group posted is an average group for the rifle
