i've been asked a few times to post a pic of what my new toys are doing.
this is my best group (3 shots) at 200 yards with my 204 ruger . i'm shooting a max load of bl-c2 under a 40 grain v-max in a winchester case.
i tried all day today to find my blasted target that i shot back before deer season (when i stole the scope off my 243 ) but i couldn't find it. so i went out today and tried to do it again. i got close but my other target was better.
i think the biggest reason i get groups like this that all my guns have been hand lapped (real good) they all shoot handloads (i can not give enough credit to the forster bench rest dies all round are the same) and i shoot all of them free recoil. by free recoil i mean resting the gun tight in the bags (or in a bipod with a bag in the back) and the only thing i touch on the gun when firing it is the trigger (a really light trigger is vital to me).
