I am trying to figure out where I am at with my accuracy. I know some mention 3/8 in, 1/2 in, and 1 inch groups. What are you all doing to get these so close?

My local sporting good guy recommends one of those Caldwell "Lead Sleds" for $119. You can elevate the front and works like those scissor car jacks. Even absorbs most of the recoil as well. I have not done this and probably should to sight in EXACTLY.

I have pretty much just shot off the front of my truck (nice standing height) using something inside (a coat bunched up, or a kid pillow) to rest the front. Even though I've dropped thousands on rifles, scopes, reloading press, dies and all that, powder, bullets, primers, and all that.. havent spent $20 on a proper sandbag rest. I do need to get one of those Harris bipods though!

I have 2 accurate rifles (I think!), a Browning Stainless Stalker in 7 Mag, and a Remington Sendero in 300 Win Mag.

Been shooting groups of 3, and shoot at least 5 groups to average.

With the 7 Mag I am averaging around 1.14" @ 100 - 150 gr. BT's.
With the 300 Mag (shot less) I am getting about 1.53" @ 100 - 165 Gr Hornady BTSP's.

Is this "decent" or getting there? I am sure I could do better with the Lead sled. However, I am not going to take it hunting so looking for something at least realistic. In the field, you can use a bipod, shooting sticks, or even improvise a crude rest - like my using the coat on the truck.

Please post group size and how you get it. Sure I had a low .35" on the 7 Mag, and a .58 on the 300 WM, but cannot shoot that each and every time so took an average of all. Easy to shoot 3/4" group, then right afterward shoot a 1.5" group!
