Finally got my 257 to group. After a lot of shots, different loads, the rifle floated and bedded and more importantly learn how to clean a barrel properly.

This is the result at 100 yds. The centre bull shot was an inch to low so I moved it up 4 clicks and here is the result.

At 200 yds it put 3 shots in an inch group about an inch high and at 332 yds, it was online but 9 inches low.

The load was 100 grn Nosler Varmint Tip, 69 grains ADI 2213SC, Velocity around 3500 fps.

Cheers Baz

Its always a mixture of excitement and relief when it all comes together. Well done powder would be AR 2213sc.

I wish I could shoot that good. I'm pretty sure most of my guns are way more accurate than I am.
I've been asked: "How many guns do you need to have?" My answer remains the same: "One more."
