@ebf what is the variable you are testing in those group? powder charge or seating depth?? Or is it more conformation of your end load?

Wsm junkie : powder charge, looking for low elevation and low sd, see http://www.nzhuntingandshooting.co.nz/f10/refining-loads-through-velocity-plateaux-36585/]this thread for process
Malcolm had one that would happily make head shots all day at 600... he shot a 5 shot 2.5" group with it at 600 not long before he got out. Some of those rifles were awesome and he was doing a lot of shooting at the time.
I have some plans to run a old style sniper match at some stage (500 and 600 yards) - Hawkins position, fire on command, sand bag barricades, loop holes, camouflage nets... :) Would be great to have a few entry classes (service pre-1990, service post-1990, and open class) but I am pretty sure most people will want to just shoot in open class.
I am sure Malcolm does as well but I remember the badge shoot to the detail.
I shot a 245 in practice with that PH rifle missed one walking @500. My partner did as well and straight after me. He did it with hot barrel.
Best score with the AW was only 235.

did some load development last weekend so i could mover to 2208. Zeroed on on the top dot then put 4 round into the bottom dot, but pulled the 5th with a bad recoil, then put the 6th into the same hole. 155 DyersAttachment 74662
Gave the THLR accuracy challange another go today and was pleasently surprised how well I went. Gave the 1/2 moa a crack. What do you think @Norway?

Spot on, very very steady! :cool:
Assuming a very accurate rifle/ammunition, the shift towards the right COULD be increasing tension in your thumb palm.
No way for me to know, and your accuracy is at a very high level which makes it difficult to say anything from an external point of view.
Thank you for that! The shift towards the right does show itself out futher more so with this rifle scope combination? Photo is from the same day first 3 shots from the rifle at 360m

Gave the THLR Proficiency test a go today. Had 23sec spare and the shot felt good but the proof is in the pudding so to speak...

As @Norway pointed out from the other day "the shift towards the right COULD be increasing tension in your thumb palm" and it appears very apparent from this today I believe. I did this at the end of my shooting, next time I'll use the same piece of paper and shoot it at the start and see how I go.
Hey @Dreamer where did you find that target?
cheers, Dave
