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

    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?

    My standard FTR load - Lapua Palma Cases, 45.0 gr 2208 with 185 gr Berger Hybrids.

    Barnard 'P' Action, 32" 1:10 True-Flite barrel.
    You get a little more velocity out of the longer barrel.

    Most target rifles have 30" or 32" barrels
    I can still make the 8.25 kg weight limit (includes rifle, scope, bipod, rain cover) with the 32".

    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.

    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.
    there are only two things guns fear
    rust and politicians

    Agree for my shooting anyway, if I had more patience/time it would be single shots...but two with a few minutes wait time keeps the gun cold and keeps my shooting at its sharpest (which isn't all that flash)

    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 .
