  Well. I felt like I shot pretty good...but the paper doesn't lie. It was about .2L and usually about .2 up...although the vertical was less consistent. Very well could have been the wind then?

  In this case, these speeds confirm the results that I have obtained by firing at 900, 800, 700 m.
  This is 4 more shots, pretty same conditions than yesterday, so I have decided to stop since this ammunition is not good to get first shot hits past 500m, but I still can use them to foul the bore.

  

  10 shots:
  AVG 2878 fps
  HI 2917 fps
  LO 2839 fps
  SD 26 fps
  ES 78 fps

  10 yards rapid fire.
  Getting past the flinching and am able to call shots when the trigger breaks.
  Center mass hold.
  POI still about 3" high.
  A few thousand more ought to program the neural pathways.
  Then move on to the draw and shoot from concealment.

  Finally able to shoot the load workup I did for the 53 flat base SMK. Shot 25.0 to 26.4 grains of H4895 in .2 increments. I used 1x fired and FL resized range brass for this which on retrospect was a mistake as some of those flyers were not me.The orange dot above were 3 @ 25.3 and 2@ 25.2 for sighters. Will load some @ 25.3 for the next range excursion which looks to be on the 27th. Shot some 80s at steel (14) and shot 4 shots of .308. Another pierced Winchester LR primer! Going to throw them all out.
  
  The data for the .223:
  100 yards
  53SMK
  H4895
  #41 CCI SRP
  LC85 (not nato brass) 1x fired, FL sized Forster die
  CBTO 1.917

  10 shots today. I removed the angled piece on my buttstock to test out a theory that it's causing some of my vertical movement.

  And it indeed made a change, crosshairs were all below my target after the shot today. It also reminded me how much I dislike shooting with a flat bottom buttstock as all adjustments had to be done with the bipod or rear bag pressure.

  They also still moved left, I tried playing with some cheek pressure but couldn't get anything repeatable there.

  Did a little shooting today. Had to re zero a couple rifles and fine tune my Fuzion action 6br.
  
  Fuzion action 6br in masterpiece chassis with a 26 inch 8 twist Hart barrel. It is a sweet shooting gun.
  
  10 shoots at 200 yards. One got away from me right. Bad timing on the wind by me. I am really liking this 6br. It is shooting 107 smk's nicely.
  
  re zeroed 300wsm then took 3 shots at 200. Also re zeroed my wife's 14 twist 6br varmit gun.Then shot 2 at 200 for the 8. Off a couple clicks changed from moa to mil scope.

  I would change calibers too. I like my 308 barrel but would buy a 6.5 cm if I was buying it today.

  Components are temporary and should not determine caliber. In my opinion.

  Ok...I went back and checked. My centerfire one does have an o ring on both ends. My rimfire 40x one does not have an o ring on the chamber end.

  Why was he typing in RANDOM bold sentences and words? IT MAKES it hard to read and just comes off as STUPID.

  I proofread my posts for readability most of the time and I'LL EVEN GO BACK AND EDIT THEM IF I find a mistake.

  Speaking personally, I forgo the break. Get a great scope and bipod.

  I shoot a .308 to test me and to learn to shoot because of it's mediocre ballistics.

  I don't want to mitigate the recoil because I'm trying to learn how to drive a rifle through the recoil.

  Found a listing for an Anschutz 2002.

  This is the easy highest quality route without charging tanks.

  http://targettalk.org/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=54983

  Daisy Avanti in another listing $250 but it is bottom instead of side cocking.
  Bottom cocking = no bipod.
  Position shooting only without an accessory rail.

  @curt1521
  Do you have a hot wire foam cutter? If not and you didn't want to make your own, just send me a message and I can probably help you out. I've done quite a few and would argue they look & work a lot better than some of the electric knife butcher jobs I've seen out there.

  I do not have one. I sent you a message!

  Mine arrived this afternoon. I am currently using up some yellow card stock that has something printed on the back...but bright yellow is torture on the eyes. I'm looking forward to the softer tone.

  Thats why archery targets are yellow blue red. The yellow is meant to force your eye away, making it harder to shoot a bullseye.

  Here's the correct way to clean your AR15 if your interested at all. Obviously cleaning your weapon and making sure it is functioning effectively is one of the keys to safety in gun handling.
