Novice PR Shooter: Best Group of the Day

[Amsdorf]

I'm new to precision rifle shooting and have only shot my new rifle twice before. It was a beautiful day here in St. Louis yesterday, I mean, ridiculously so. Low humidy, around 50 degrees, low wind, perfect conditions. I've been curious to know how my rifle would handle Prvi Partizan Ammunition 308 Winchester 145 Grain Full Metal Jacket ammo. I've only used Federal Match with 175 grain Sierra King bullets before (It is what the scope is zeroed for). After a few rounds getting the rifle, and shooter, warmed up. I really did my best to get a good ten shot group. I had to hold a bit high with the stop, just a tiny bit actually at 100 yards, but I was really pleased with my best group of the day. Shooting from the bench, from bipod and rear bag. Here are the results.

Howdy amsdorf,

Dang! That's a good group especially considering that you weren't using match ammo.

Thanks Sten, that's what I thought too. But the rifle is amazing, the trigger is pretty darn light, the scope is dead on accurate ... and ... well, it was only 100 yards.

Very nice, great job.

I'm happy when I get 10 out of 10 shots on a 9 inch paper plate at 100yds with iron sights on my AK.... (standing, bracing against an upright like a tree or post)

Looks like you can choose which freckle you want to hit vs a generic headshot for me......

Getting ten out of ten on a 9" plate with the absolutely crappy iron sights on an AK is great.
