target shooting with a moderator

Thanks shuggy.

 

This was at 450y. The other groups were just over 2.5"

 

The barrel is a 30" kreiger. Very similar profile to my T3 varmint.

Impressive! I don't think that you have too much to worry about. How many shots before the groups open up?

I was starting to struggle seeing the holes! The Zeiss is a belting scope but past 500y on targets i'll need more mag. Im thinking about getting an IOR terminator for the long range stuff. Dont want a spotting scope and tired of riding up and down fields to see whats happening.

 

Shot 20 rounds tonight with no issue.

 

It was a while ago when i had the large group. Think we shot 30 rounds fairly quick and by the end the shots were 6-7 inches off at 260y. could have been other things, poor loading (by me), mod slightly loose, dirty barrel etc

 

I used the iStrelok app for the first time today and was very impressed. Ill start a new thread about that!

I have an Ase Utra northstar I use near the farm on vermin and when cold (single shot) it is very accurate. Only used it once when shooting groups but when it got hot the groups opened up alot so never tried again.

 

just wondered if this is common or just me!

 

Have you checked for tightness when hot?

I had that happen and it was because the can was ever so slightly loose because of different heat expansion.
