Something is up for sure....earlier your Kestrel showed 1.58 mils. What MV are you using?
2495 with 175 FGMM and about 40 rds on the barrel.
Things may have “settled” in after 200 rds but I’d be expecting less E need than more.
Is “my barrel speeded up” a real thing?
I should have tried new variables slowly, one at a time but I decided to jump in the deep end.
The left hand aspect is pretty straightforward. No mystery there you just spin the bullet in the opposite direction and it just puts the odds in your favor. Not a miracle solution.
I also wanted to try a fast twist .308.
Where I got screwy was throwing in gain twist on that.
I don’t have the money to try one variable at a time so it was an all or nothing thing.
I posted a thread in Gunsmithing on it calling Frank Green in to comment.
Wonder what his experience was with .308 with less than a traditional 11 or 10 twist.
This one is 9.25:1 GT to 8.75:1
I use 2625 for an MV but it is estimated just based on true DOPE
At 750 yards I was using 6.4E/.1L to bang steel.
How does that work for “truing”?
Guessing I could check the range card in my Kestrel and if I correct 750 to that E/W it will correct the whole card?
I true to measured DOPE using MV adjustments up to 600 yards. After 600 yards, I adjust BC until predicted matches true DOPE at those distances. It is an iterative process. After you true the longer range by adjusting BC, the closer in may require another slight MV adjustment. It will take a couple of passes to get the predicted to match the true DOPE from 100 to 1000 yards.
Works pretty well
FFS! Is this shit ever going to end?
Need to give the M40 a chance to recover from my math mistakes….

Kestrel says I should hold 1.6 E.
My aim point is 1.4 E.
Stress!
But twenty rounds down range.
I had to hold my 2 mil under dot (this rifle is zeroed at 2 under) so that I had the slightest bit of orange showing at 1700 on the 2 mil dot.
9X and thick stadia made it tough.
This rifle is setup for plates not 4 inch circles.
What I think I see through the spotter.

Looks like 13 hit within my 4 inch circle. I’ll take that for what I had to try and hold.
If I stick to these it would have been twenty for twenty.

That's close enough
