    Thanks, I know it's not the clover leaf groupings of many on this forum! I'll get there one day I guess...

    As for differences between lead sled and this round, it was the same elevation at 300m, but two clicks left. At 400m I actually came down two clicks on my ballistic turret setting. I know I can improve on the groupings but at this stage (and this close to the Roar) I'm sticking with my factory ammo of choice/availability, which seems to be about 1MOA - 3/4 MOA at 100m when I absolutely do my bit (consistently). I will be back up to the range and take my sweet time with the next lot of shots as the barrel certainly heats up quickly. Shooting on a blazing afternoon in Central Otago is also not conducive to being cool, calm and collected. Perhaps I'll try early morning or in the evening.

    After the roar I'll start my next project being a 300WSM Montana....
