Inconsistent shots

Shotgun? :)

Ha ha I would post the 3rd group but the spreads so wide I can't make the image small enough!

Have you tried the GGG 155gn through it yet?

[HALODIN]

Blimey :). If you find a way to post the pic, it might be useful.

If you can't lay your hands on Hornady TAP (I would urge you to try) then try a selection of Match ammo.

No I haven't, I hope to get down to bisley this week to run some ammo tests

There's no good reason why GGG wouldn't give you half-decent groups out of a rifle like that. Like I said happy to put a borescope down the barrel and have a look at it if you want.

Every rife is different, every barrel is different. You don't know what yours likes and works until you have tried them. For me the 155gr & 175gr GGG is on par if not better than other match ammo available.

I can see quite a few shots there..... in theory a group is anything from 3-5 shots. How long are you waiting between each shot, and each grouping that you do? Could it be the case that you are just running the rifle very hard and fast and the barrel is warming up and walking off? This would make sense if each subsequent group that you shoot is opening out each time.

When you do go back to the range with the selection of ammo, really take your time and wait a good while before shooting the next group to keep things constant. When you know what works for your rifle, you can see what your rifle is capable of in a controlled test. Once you know the ammo is fine, and suits it, then you know anything less than that is either shooter error or you've run it too hard and fast. I don't own an AI but can anyone else tell me can you run 10 rounds through the gun quickly and expect to still keep 0.5 MOA for example?

[HALODIN]

Yep.

Kudos - Well that's what you pay for then.

It shoots better than that now with Varget using OCW load development.
