Update from the range. Shot 5 sight-in rounds and 15 baseline 140 ELD-M. Roughly 1.0 MOA or a little more. Decision to use Fit to Finish starting at #2 - 5. Struggle with bench at my home range (I hate that rest, it moves up and down. They wont let us shoot prone). Settled in and since shooting and cleaning is not so fun, once I got to 10 shot cycles started shooting a bolt drill (Snipers Hide has a good video). It was pretty amazing, the action likes to cycle fast and decisive. Feed issues went down as I cycled faster. Made some progress on keeping sight picture while operating bolt so was happy.


By #4 Fit to Finish groups were getting much better, 9 shots fast (hot barrel) were grouping 1 moa. Last group was FTF #5 (polishing), 8 rounds fast with 7 of 8 sub MOA.
Next step is back to match ammo and reworking loads. Will use ELD-M for practice and Berger 130 OTM for primary if it shoots well.


Never shot a bolt action that fast - That was fun!
