Remington 700 M24 SWS, Badger ordinance 20 MOA rail, Larue Tactical quick disconnect mount, and a Leupold Mk IV 4.5-14x50mm.Initial shots from a sled cradle, final with the Harris Bipod.
Started with a box of Federal GMM 175 Gr at an estimated 2600 FPS.Did a bore sight at the house on a target that was about 80 Yards away.
First shot at 100 yds was way low, didn't see it at first.8 1/2" low, 3" Left.Moved to 25 yds, three shots, 3 1/2 low, tad over 1/2 left..527" group, smiling at this point.moved to 50 yds, .28"GI2.
100 Yds.Shooting and adjusting the scope after each group..553", .67", .3935" and finally .552"
Switched to the Hornady 178 Gr ELD-X, estimated 2600 FPS.One test shot with Federal 175 GMM, 1/2" low.First 3 178 Gr ELD-x, 1/2" high, 1/4 Rt..459", switched from the cradle to the bipod.Still smiling.1 1/14", 2", not thrilled.Settled in and repositioned and the last group was .447".
Think I'll start doing test loads with the 178 gr ELD-X.
OK it's a keeper.
OK, for some bizarre reason the system will not let me upload a shot of the targets...
So here's the URL...
