G day guys
Thoroughly cleaned the factory gunk out , of barrel , tuned magazine , bedded action.
Was shooting off the bench at 50 and 100 metres.
PPU ammo.
Was getting 1,1/2 inch group at 50, horizontal stringing , 3 shots in a horizontal row.
Several strings like this.
What does this mean ?
Groups at 100 were 3" to 4" , round groups shocking.
It was windy that didnt help.
I thought rifle or scope or both f#@*ked
II aint the best shot either !
I tried some new ammo , hornady and winchester 35 gr ballistic tips at 50mtrs
3 shots hornady = one three leaf clover
3 shots winnie = one three leaf clover.
So rifle and scope seem to be fine and my shooting not so bad.
100 metre groups with same ammo 2" circular, i was expecting better.
windy as i said , and i need to improve my technique , my first centrefire so i need to concetrate a bit more.
That horizontal string , is that me , the ammo or the gun.
Also , once you thoroughly clean the rifle , can i expect it to take several rounds to settle in ?
I was dreading this centrefire cleaning caper
Seems like boretech eliminator cleans real well .carbon seems to clean out easily and copper fouling doesnt seem to be an issue.
I have a hundred rounds down the spout now.
should i expect the groups at 100 metres to tighten up a little as more rounds are fired ?
Thanks guys.
