    Oh one more thing if you want to get crazy, a Geissele SSA trigger or SSA-E would not hurt your efforts. Wait for a holiday sale if you must, or I think I saw one on the EE.

    What Tx_Aggie said in regards to natural point of aim can't be stressed enough. That was at the core of what my last reply was about. You want to make micro adjustments of your body around the rifle once you've established a good NPA. It's so easy to want to muscle the gun into your position, but it just kills your technique, and subsequent results.


    Secondly I'd like echo what Pappabear said in regards to target selection. This can't be stressed enough either when shooting groups. You need the perfect target aimpoint for your particular reticle in order to really hone your results.

    I was gone for most of October for work,

    Last Sunday I went to the local range to shoot steel without worrying about paper. Made some good hits out to 600yds with ZQI ball ammo using one of my LMTs. Calm day, no wind either. So there is a glimmer of hope!

    Once I started shooting at steel at 800-1000yds, I stopped worrying about shooting groups by in large. I realized that regardless of the group size at 100yds, my rifle was giving me the performance I expected/desired at distance, which was the primary mission of the buying a MWS for myself.

    Right...I struggle with this sometimes and I must remember there is more to marksmanship than mere groups. It seems like culturally we get carried away with them in the US...


    I haven't shot my rifles in a minute (pun intended) but I need to get back out there again.

    Many times when we are shooting steel, Ill shoot one sighter on paper in case that particular load is shooting wide right or left. I don't want to chase my ass with wind. Once I confirm my scope is moa to the target, I'll head out the promise land. Many days we shoot very few groups after the load development has taken place.

    How do you even start load development for a given rifle, anyway?
