ORIGINAL: bigcountry Wow, your on a roll, everything you shoot, shoots sub.5 MOA from rifle to Muzzleloaders. Gosh!!! I wish i could shoot that good. you should think about shooting in matches that kind of group at 300 yards noone with a bench rifle could touch ya, imagine what you could do with match rifle with a kreiger barrel, jarden trigger the works you would be absolutely unstoppable in the benchrest world, your name will be on every world record and every company would be fighting each other just to sponsor you before you know it every shooting team will want you, that kind of shooting will get ya a gold medal in every event at that olympics. wow man wow!!! awesome shooting ;) |
RE: A good day of shooting
All the problems that I had before these loads with scope problems and load problems for the 7mm RUM, it is finally coming around.
I realize it is hard to get anyone to believe you on this site but what I will do is start scanning my targets. Here is a question on the 7mmRUM. This load only shoots 1" at 100 yards, 1" to 1.5" at 200 yards and then 1" to 1.5" at 300 yards. Why is the groups not tighter at 100 yards? |

High Desert Wolf,
Anytime you want to come and shoot with me, you are very welcome. I am so glad that I visit a site where you will be drug through the mud for doing something well. The gun is a tricked out Remington 700 Sendero chambered in 7mm RUM. This is not just a STANDARD bench gun. But I am sorry that I offended you by being able to shoot very well. I will try to do worst next time. I shoot three and four times a week when I get the opportunity and I shoot with guys that have custom match guns and yes, when the load is right for my rifle I can shoot with them all day long. It amazes me that you can come to this site and ask for help on problems that you are having with your rifles, keep working on the problem until you are satisfied, then come back to the site and tell everyone thanks for the help and that you are excited about what you did at the range with the guns, then get criticized and basically called a liar. Next I wont bother. |

I've read that bullets can sometimes "wobble" around a center line of flight, I believe it's called precession.Supposed to be caused by an imperfect crown. (No crowns are perfect) Anyway,with distance or timethe bullet sort of "goes to sleep", similiar to a spinning top that settles down.This wouldcause groups to tighten with distance.

My 7-08 shoots better groups at 150 than 100......seems weird but I think its me.

ORIGINAL: Doe Dumper My 7-08 shoots better groups at 150 than 100......seems weird but I think its me. are using the same magnification at both ranges?? i found that the smaller a target appears in a scope for some reason the groups are smaller for example when i shoot at 100 yards with the scope on 10x and then switch down to 4x my groups shrink i dont understand this it kinda make sense sorta. lol |

Next I wont bother. sorry i assume to much i guess, just never figured the 7mm rum as a bench caliber. if you say so and its a custom bench gun then i can believe 1 inch groups at 300 yards if thats the case you should be shooting way less than that at 100 yards like less than a half MOA thats, but then again there could many variables in the mix so what ever it worth sorry to upset ya. if you dont mind me asking whats a standard bench gun??? thats like saying because my hunting rifle has a trigger job its not a standard hunting rifle. so does your sendero have trigger job, what im getting at is what are you doing? is it still on the sendero stock? or is in a 20 lbs bench rest stock does still have a $6 remngton barrel or does it have a $400 kreiger barrel. I want to know what all you got in your not so standard bench gun?? ;) |
