Looking at this 5 shot group it sticks out that there are 2 different groups. 3 and 2. What would you do to try and tighten them up. This was shot at 290yds and it is a .6 but I can’t help but think that it could become a .4

Dry firing and practice; trigger control.

Reloading Confuscius says if you can completely eliminate yourself as the variable, you can focus on the ammo.


Unless you're shooting Nosler 130 RDF's. Then that 2 group shit is normal ????????

Few things:

We have no idea how you arrived at this intended load. So, it’s hard to give advice.

If you arrived at it properly, the two things you can do to tighten up groups (besides it being you possibly) are

Seating depth
Installing a tuner

Powder throw and brass prep = ES control

Seating depth = group size

Also, the spread is vertical. So if it’s you, it’s likely breathing.

Trigger press = horizontal

Breathing = vertical

I’ve burned up a lot of powder trying to get those to do something decent to no avail. ?

They like a long jump. Like 0.070" or greater. I can get 3 half MOA or better groups from one 10 round mag!

I felt like all these were good shots. I had another load I was trying and I had 2 bad trigger presses in that group and it showed. ES was 40 with the second shot of the string being the one that took the ES from 14 to 40. I will do more dry fire practice before going back and see what happens.

ES won’t matter at that close range.
