I think this one is my smallest group, ever. Not sure on CTC size but I don't feel like I am cheating if I called it a .1. This was the first group fired using a Burris XTR II 8-40x50 scope, also the only group. I promptly put it away and broke out the specialty pistols. 30" Brux 1:8 6x47L 37.5 grains of RL17 with 105 Amaxes.

The interesting thing is there was a bunch of dialing in between shots to see how well it tracked. Fired the first, dialed up 5 MOA then back down and fired the second. Dialed up/10 MOA and fired the third shot. Seems to track perfectly. Or either I shoot bad and the tracking being off stacked the bullets for me.....

So we did some shooting last weekend at 1000 yards and I really didn't feel like the gun was performing the way it should. Seemed to constantly just barely miss off the edges of the targets. Checked everything after shooting, everything was tight (rings, base, action, etc). After talking with a buddy, decided, maybe I need to actually clean the bore. I had adopted the notion that most people overclean, and that leaving some copper in the barrel for a while will actually help the accuracy. The problem was I had gotten super lax on any cleaning at all. I'm sure there were upwards of 3-400 rounds through it since it's last cleaning. Even cleaning carbon, much less copper. I decided to shoot some groups at 100yds to see what was going on. Shot 3 groups anywhere from 3/4moa to just over 1moa. The gun is much more capable than that. I am much more capable than that. So I cleaned the bore, down to bare metal. Hoppes #9 and Sweets 7.62. Patches, and brushes. 2 fouler shots, and a quick 3 shot group. Definite improvement. So I shot my last 5 rounds for a 5 shot group to see what we could do. Almost stopped after 3 because I was scared I was gonna pull one if I kept going. I've never been a fan of 3 shot groups though, so I couldn't let myself stop there. That last shot must have taken me 3-5 minutes to finally squeeze off. Haha This is that group. I must say I was extremely pleased.

5 shots, 100 yards.

very nice group!! and isnt it amazing what happens when you clean your barrel...at 400 rounds accuracy was gone so now that youve cleaned it you need to keep close notes on how many rounds it takes before accuracy drops off again...im betting some where between 100 and 200 rounds and ill bet 150 will be your number. also if you want to make your cleaning easier ditch the sweets and the #9 and get a can of mercury powder tune for the carbon and a can of montana extreme 50BMG for the copper...if you get the MPT and 50BMG make sure you run a couple of patches of rubbing alcohol after each one to make sure you get it all out.

[upSLIDEdown]

I'll look into those and see what I can find. Thanks!

Three shots, 800 yards, everyone gets lucky once in awhile. :)

Bought a box of 308 lapua brass last week to try out. Looks like when I get them neck sized they should turn out some pretty good groups.

Shot this one this morning, 5 shots at 415yards, 1.438"

Location was in the Palomar Mountains in Southern California.

6000-7000ft elevation, 33 degrees, and snowing with a 2-3mph wind off an ATLAS Bipod and rear bag from an elevated platform, but we were almost level with the target.
