Does anyone have a link to the targets off Norway's video they can throw my way?

6.5prc built by greg @100m ( thanks greg!!) Attachment 136150
Creating a load for my .308 browning xbolt. Attachment 136151 had 6 loads all around the same group like this @ 100m.
My best day from the 2020 Nelson Champs at Westport
3 ranges shot, 300 yards, 700 yards twice.
Group sizes 0.9, 0.9 1.0 MOA respectively.
It's a good day when you keep all the sighting shots.
The deleted shot on my 3rd target was a crossfire from another shooter.

The velocities at 700 look very fast. What load?
strokes for folks........bush hobbits dont need interbalistic misiles for sub 50 yard shots
Some great shooting and discussion here.
Perhaps hitting a 1 MOA dot with a single cold bore shot is more relevant to most of us?
To prove consistency, hit it again with a single shot on a different day, or with a completely cold bore in whatever condition you like your bore (fouled, clean of carbon, clean of carbon and copper, whatever).
Lots of very impressive groups, but most aren’t bang on target (load dev accepted).
I’m not being at all critical - I enjoy shooting for small group sizes too.
N150, 178g eldx, standard xbolt but chopped to 15inch, trigger spring, dpt magnum supressor. That lying on the dirt with a bipod and a hoodie as a rear bag.
Five shot 1/2 moa group shot today at 200m wth my .308 win shultz and larsen classic dl.
Attachment 151762
Would have been tighter except for my own slight shakes. Standard jaktmatch bbl. 155hbc @2800 fps. Leupold vx3 4.5-14*40 scope.
That's how I find my center. I get out maybe once a week and put a couple of cold shots into a target at 600 yards. The accumulated data gives me about 1moa with my 284.
Generally the two shot groups are way tighter than that but elevation variation from night to night pushes it out to moa, but more than happy with that.
3 shot groups test the load and rifle. 5 shot groups test the shooter. Most shooters will struggle to put up a good 5 shot group with a heavy recoiling gun, even suppressed. Its all about shoulder pressure, and any subtle difference will throw a shot out of the group.
3 shots 5 shots 6 shots . ya have it all wrong unless your target shooting . It's the FIRST shot that counts
unless your doing control and even then if you can put it in the bull every time first time thats it .
