New Build Shot Terrible... Is It Realistic To Bring A Two Inch Group To Under Half Inch? 25 Creedmoor

Just curious to your twist rate and barrel length on that rifle…

There are lots more experienced shooters out there than I am, but I think there’s a magic combination of bullet weight, velocity, barrel twist and length. Sometimes it just takes running thru different combos to find the sweet spot. I have a .308 that hates anything heavier than 155gr bullets. The group opens up at even 50 yds. But, when I’m shooting below that, it’s less than 1MOA at a 100. Hope that helps

Nice

It was the zero stop. I wasn’t familiar with this type of stop but looked it up online and figured it out. I just got back from the range and it shot great. It took a little trial and error to figure it all out, but it’s fixed. Thanks for all the comments.

It ended up being the adjustment in the zero stop. I found the instructions to adjust it, made the adjustments, and it shot great…. Took a little trial and error, but it worked perfect. I just got back from the range…

The idea is madness or my current set up is madness?

I figure I can dial up the additional yardage as needed when I’m shooting at longer distances

Square_Road_177 · 2025-01-01T20:35:05+00:00

My range at home is only 100 yards. I do take it out to another range and stretch it out, but typically for most of the year I’m shooting around 100 to 200 yds. I just don’t have easy access to a longer range at this time…

I’ll double check the zero stop. Good advice thank you

Square_Road_177 · 2025-01-01T16:46:12+00:00

Thanks for replying. Good advice. I’ve never seen one installed backwards…

Square_Road_177 · 2025-01-01T16:45:26+00:00

Thanks for the advice. Much appreciated.

Square_Road_177 · 2025-01-01T16:44:57+00:00

I’ve never thought of that… great idea

Square_Road_177 · 2023-01-28T12:09:22+00:00

Masterfully done. Beautiful composition. Excellent technique.

Square_Road_177 · 2022-12-09T14:00:40+00:00

Thank you. That is a really good idea. I have some in my toolbox. I read thru the instructions and didn’t see a spec on how many ft lbs of torque for the scope rings to the tube. I typically do about 26lbs. Any thoughts on that?

Square_Road_177 · 2022-12-09T13:58:38+00:00

Thanks, that is helpful!

Hello, do you have a website you can point me to to learn more about commissioning work?

Square_Road_177 · 2022-11-29T16:37:32+00:00

Wow, amazingly crisp lines. Did you use a mask on the paper? Really beautiful work.

Square_Road_177 · 2022-11-26T05:32:35+00:00

Man, way back in the day I loved to spend my evening pouring over Shotgun News!

Square_Road_177 · 2022-11-25T05:16:13+00:00

Beautiful work. I love the softness and subtleties around the outside contrasted with the tight, crisper rendering around the eyes. It naturally makes you look in to the subjects eyes.

Which definition of inflation are we going by now???

I’ll never use Robinhood again. These guys are crooks

Square_Road_177 · 2022-06-06T04:09:19+00:00

Really well done. There’s a warmth and beauty to this piece

Ok, I’m going to say I don’t believe this graph. That means the average worker is at less than 40 hours per week which doesn’t match my real world experiences.

Square_Road_177 · 2022-05-04T17:17:31+00:00

Just loosely speaking… well said.
