Stumbled onto this one...
Nice. And you hit the target, too!
Hi Folks
I have always been a Remington man..... and still am at heart, but after recently getting back into shooting after a work induced decade + long break, I have been disgusted by the slip in Remington's quality. I have a couple older remy's and customs built on old Rem actions, but for some reason i kept going a looking at the Savage website.
Opportunity arose a couple months back to get a very nice Model 12 LRPV 6BR with 1:8 twist. It will be my varmint splattering rig
While developing loads, I have not thus far been able to get it to shoot much worse than 0.5" at 100 yards. What a great piece of kit!
80gn Berger varmint pills
ADI BM8208
CCI BR4 primer
Seated 5 thou off the lands
measured 0.248" (little pinky nail for comparison)
Very nice
This is a 5 shot group through my Savage Model 12 FVSS with a 26" barrel chambered in 22-250. The gun is completely stock with the accu trigger. I was shooting 55gr Nosler Varmageddon in front of IMR 4064. This is at 100 yds. In hind sight, probably should have stopped at shot 4 so I wouldn't have had that pesky 5th shot above the rest
Well, my first time reloading and I am happy with the results.
I started with the upper left target, just going for grouping. Those are 51 gr. of H414 behind 165 gr Nosler ballistic tip setup .026 off the lands. They were setup kinda arbitrary and then I went and bought a Hornady OAL gauge .
Then I loaded 54.5 gr of 414 with the same bullet sitting .013 off the lands. I am shocked how much it closed up. I want to load the max for this set up at 56 gr of powder and set them at .010 of the lands and see what happens. I am thinking the tight group is right at .5 MOA.
I was shooting this at 100 yds, off a Lead Sled. Now I need to zero at 200 yds and I will be set for the season. Can't wait.

Sorry, this is out of a 70s ish Left handed 110 E .30-06 with a Leupold VX-1. I have tinkered with the trigger a little, but want a Timney and a little nicer stock.

First time having a group that I'm really proud of. This group was made during an OCW load test.
Model 12 LRP in 260 with SWFA SS 3-15x42. Lapua brass, CCI BR2, 140gr Hornady BTHP Match, 45.7gr H4831SC, 2.870" COL

Great Job shooting
Shooting my SIG Sauer SSG3000... Manufacturer ammo 168g SMK GMM; three shot groups at 100yards. I shoot with a bipod and rear beanbag. The lower picture is the norm for the SIG and the upper picture was just some serious dumb luck. And you can bet I've kept the target seeing as how it will never happen again ;-)
Outstanding, great shooting
David , that gun impresses me everytime i put it on the bench , The first sub MOA group i shot with it i considered a fluke , But after shooting several more decided its a real shooter and for something i bought for just the action.
These were shot out of my AR15 in 6.5 Grendel with a 16" Stainless bull barrel from Black Hole Weaponry shooting Hornady Match 123gr AMax factory ammo. Rounds 47-50 through the barrel. Measured .68x". Could probably be tightened up with handloads and/or a better shooting rest.
My best group ever! 7 shots should have stopped at 6 but dang! Lower 4 shots were Hornady 150gr SST. Pulled the last shot. Factory Federal Siera Match 168gr.
Still working on the load , not 100% happy with this one yet
