Not sure the “Jeez guys” added to the helpfulness your post…Jeez guys....
It's a lot clearer in the video ....... Both the front extension ring and the recipe on the box lid.
My assumption is the barrel's crispy...... or really heavily fouled
That's a Leupould offset ring.Is it just me, or does the forward scope ring look poorly attached to the base.
The ring base issue is a non-issue as it is just a fancy base that most people aren't familiar with
I agree! It looks like the scope mount was set for a different rifle. Make sure it's VERY firmly connected, because it looks like it's just not right!!!Is it just me, or does the forward scope ring look poorly attached to the base.
Using proper targets for precision shooting might help; aim small, miss small. Nevertheless, if this is 100 yards, that looks like about 1.5 MOA with 5 shots, closer to 2 MOA with 10 shots (what really counts). This would be acceptable with an AR carbine and ball ammo, not so much with a heavy bolt gun and handloads. I wouldn't even accept that from a big game rifle. I've got $300 Mossberg Patriots that hover just over MOA for 10 shots @100 yards with factory hunting ammo.5-shot group with bipod, dialed in loads, and everything tightened up.

I think you misunderstood, and it is completely my fault since I was in a hurry before work and didn't bother to make the scope adjustments and fire two separate groups on different targets.Using proper targets for precision shooting might help; aim small, miss small.

That jumped-out upon seeing the photo. How could anyone who knows anything about rifles/scopes do that? It looks like the person just put the scope on the rifle to provide safe storage for it in a gun cabinet. Only a nincompoop would install a scope like that and think it would work.Is it just me, or does the forward scope ring look poorly attached to the base.
MAP on the 6.5-284 is unusually low at 58k. Capacity between it and the 6.5PRC (had both at the same time and kept the 6.5-284) are pretty close from what i remember, so run marginally harder id expect 3000-3100 wouldnt be a stretch.Your music in the video is very sad...
243winxb nailed it with his photos...a bipod on a pad is extremely suboptimal plus it's likely you were shooting a series of experimental rounds rather than his dialed in load.
I believe shooting on a solid rest with a rear bag and the dialed in load will get you where you should be. I'm really curious what the muzzle velocity is with a 30" barrel and a grain over max produces.
