Range Report with New Remington 700

[burntmuch]

Just bought a Remington 700 in .223 from the classifieds at GBO. Its wearing a swift premier 4X12. Made it to the range today, All I had for ammo was some factory winchester 45 grain JHPs. Shot 30 rounds over about 2 hours, Smallest group was 1/2 inch & biggest group was 1 1/8th inch. A couple of the groups were 2 in one hole then one off to the left about 5/8 of an inch. Thats me yanking on the trigger Real happy with the gun so far. Im gonna have to wait to reload for this one . Kinda broke right now I got some 50 grain Nosler BTs & brass just gotta get some dies. If I can get close to the groups I had today I LL be happy . Jay

My Howa 1500 absolutely loves the Winchester 45 gr jhp load. 1/2-3/4 inch groups all day long.
