Thread: First shots from my new rifle. Ammo choice?

I think in that case I should focus on shooting standing braced against a tree since that's my most likely scenario. And prone across a bag since that's the next most likely, and compare those groups.

Identify your target beyond all doubt because you never miss (right?) and I'll be missed.

thats my favorite way to shoot too

If your shooting position is uncomfortable, that needs fixing before you start firing or you will never get past sighted in. Once you do this the rest will follow.
If you struggle there as in the above post go to prone assuming you can get comfy there. Alternatively get it locked in at 100 m and practice from your field (standing supported by post or tree) positions. 4 inch groups @ 100 meters in that situation will be just fine. Bipods on hard benches can jump around and give poor results. Put a rubber mat under them ...good shooting.
