Shooting one of my most accurate loads yesterday netted results that I though would be worth a discussion.
My rifle is an FN SPR .308 with a Leupold Mark 4
Range is 100 yards. I'm shooting 168g Berger VLDs, new Lapua brass, 44g varget, federal 210M primers. All rounds measured for run out with less than .001"
I've been playing with group size, trying both 5 shot and 10 shot groups to see which tells me the most about me, my rifle and my loading process. Here's the results:
After warming up, I fired this 10 shot group. Shot sequence noted:
I then shot 2 groups of 5 shots thin the sequence noted
I honestly have no idea how to interpret this.
Random observations:
The aggregate of the second set of 5 shots is probably pretty close to the 10 shot group.
What the heck happened tho the last 5 shot string.
I try to be as consistent as I can in my shooting technique and my loading process but I really don't know what to take away from this that will help me improve other than load up some more and try it again.
Curious to hear what you guys think
