So last night I shot a couple groups of the same load at different seating depths .002" apart. One target came in at 2" and this one is around 1.75" 5 shot at 510 yards. .007" jammed. Pretty good shooter but still gonna tinker a bit with .009 and .011 jammed. Seems to be tightening up. Right now she'll compete at 1000 yards, but I want it below 1.5 at this distance.

Not too shabby at all for only 23 rounds down the barrel

Petey,

Working up a gun is always fun. Just what are you looking to do? I was twice on my state's High Power Five-Man Rifle Team at Camp Perry and shot iron sights at 200, 300 and 600 yards.

Your expectations at 1,000, or whatever, yards, is very conditional to light, wind and mirage, as I assume you already know. Been there and done that, so best of luck. As you already know, NO two days are the same when shooting 1,000 yards. I only shot iron sights at 1,200 yards three times and kept good notes. I will advise you to watch the wind and the light.

Adam
