I reload for my BAR 30-06 and first I like to find the right load combo that gives me real tight groups from the bench. I want to know that if the shot is off, it's my fault. Got this .35" CTC from bench using Nosler 180 grn Ballistic Tips on top of IMR 4350.



Once I get the rifle shooting tight groups from the bench, I practice shooting off-hand, and from a sitting position. Also practice follow up shots. For this type of practice I use the same 5 1/2" shoot-n-see targets as pictured above with the objective of keeping all shots in the black.

When I can consistently keep them all in the black......I'm ready to go hunting!
