Then get the g...It is OK to zero off a sled, once.<br /><br />Then get the gun in your own hands. Zero with the plinking ammo that way, firing enough to really know the center of the group before making a scope adjustment. Get the center of your adjust right on, don't delay it just looking at group tightness. This lets the actual bullseye do work for you, and eliminates subtle variations in the point of aim that can readily creep in otherwise.<br /><br />Practice your cheek weld and get it consistent. Practice your eye relief and the picture you see in the scope, and get it consistent. Check your "cant" - twist of the rifle off straight up and down - and get it to zero and consistent. Keep the bipod locking screws tight, and always shoot with the bipod low (extenders retracted). Practice your trigger pull, and keeping your eye on the target as the gun recoils. Practice patiently eliminating "swing" from your hold. Get your stance and hold completely relaxed and comfortable, so you can hold patiently without effort. Practice the breathing.<br /><br />Do all that with the 147 grain plinking ammo. Get so you can put everything in the black at 100 yards with that stuff, even with its variation, on a standard SR-1 100 yard target. You will gain loads of confidence and learn a ton doing all of that above, and 147 grain ball is fine to learn all of it.<br /><br />Next pick one type of match ammo. Only one. Every type is somewhat different and what you want is consistency. Keep in mind that the 147 grain M80 ball is actually likely to be "hotter" - faster muzzle velocity - than your match ammo. Match means a heck of a lot more consistent from shot to shot, and less fall off in speed with range (through even straight M80 ball is no slouch on the last).<br /><br />Now, try with that at 100 yards. Your groups shot just magically halve in size. You will need to do an adjustment to center them, because the speed is different. Do so after 3-5 rounds. Verify you are on the bull with another 3-5. Repeat if you need to, until you are on.<br /><br />Now, shoot match ammo at a clean target, no existing splashes. Really concentrate on every one of the fundamentals above. Shoot slow. You want every round in the 10 ring, minimum. With no sled, no rear bag, just you and the bipod.<br /><br />When you've done that you are ready to go to longer distances. Get used to the gun at 200, 300 yards. After all that, you can learn the differences of one chosen hunting round - and it will be different.<br /><br />What worked for me, your mileage may vary. There is nothing like knowing you can hit every single time with just you and the gun doing it...JasonCnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6235455742176238008.post-15108347942220561812010-05-17T22:19:24.713-04:002010-05-17T22:19:24.713-04:00Have owned .308 Win in a Savage 99 (lever) for 30 ...Have owned .308 Win in a Savage 99 (lever) for 30 years and in Browning BAR lightweight stalker (semi auto) for 5 years.<br /><br /> Both have had great function and accuracy (+/- 1” groups @ 100yrd for BAR and 2”or less for Sav 99) with the cheaper Federal Power Shock 150gr. I will not buy anything else for them in factory ammo and do my best to duplicate its performance with handloads using Hornady 150gr SP – H335 – CCI primers (tweaking it down slightly from 2800fps to 2750fps for better semi auto performance).<br /><br /> 150gr .308 Win has been a fantastic one shot stopping cartridge for Canadian Whitetail and Mule Deer for me for over 30 years. It is a rotten weight for moose (first animal I have ever needed three rounds to drop and the last). If I need more weight I upgrade to .300 Winchester Mag, 180gr Federal Premium Noslar Partition, (Expensive, but does everything else needed).Knight 99noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6235455742176238008.post-68177307857695562512010-04-05T21:07:30.256-04:002010-04-05T21:07:30.256-04:00Sounds like a good idea switching to the 175 grain...Sounds like a good idea switching to the 175 grain Buffalo Bore.

I started off with 150 grain and was every where, I would say the results with the 168 grain was about what you where getting. Then went to 175, got WAY better, then to 180 and now it shoots great. 1 inch three shot groups are childs play. I would like to see you try something a little heavier and see what you get but thats just me being interested in this rifle. great review!! very informative. and finally Thank You.<br />(by the way the 180 grains pills that my rem 700 loves arent even match ammo just federal 180 grain soft points. but i hear and have read the federal gold match are top notch.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
