I got a chance to shoot this morning and met Toddcal13. Great guy and great shooter.

This is the first time I am trying the SH 5 shot group sheets. I shot a total of 37 rounds today and 25 are pictured below. It was extremely cold, well at least for me. My hands were so cold I couldn't feel the trigger. Excuses aside, I think I'm shooting ok. The rifle can definitely shoot better. I was shooting from a bench with a bipod and rear bag.

Rifle:
.308 Win
GAP Templar SA
24" Bartlein stainless 5R barrel/1:11.25 twist #7 GAP
Manners T4 with mini-chassis
Nightforce F1 at 10x
Harris Bipod
Red Tac rear bag

Round:
Federal (2x) and Nosler (7x) Brass
Federal GM210M Primer
43.5gn Varget
175gn Sierra Match King
Seated 2.088" to ogive.

Anyways, Happy New Year to you all!

pretty nice groups but as usual need specs on the rifle and loads that made these nice tight holes. And, BTW, I think you are shooting pretty good. You could definitely put the smack down on an animal.

Your last one is most impressive as by that point I couldn't feel my fingers feet or face! Great shooting with you. Let's do it again after the new year

That one wasn't on my CD. O'well, I just made my own.

Could be way worse. I went out for my FIRST groups of the year and got stuck for 3 hours...no trigger time, tired, sore, and upset that I could not even make a bad situation "OK" but shooting...bummed. At least I made it home.
