jay666d Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 A forum member pointed me in the direction of this method so I decided to read up on it... After two whole days of reading, I've decided I will go down this route. At first I thought it seamed a bit complicated, but slowly I'm getting to grips with the idea. Has anybody else got any experience with this method? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 There's a thread running further down this page. To get consistency be systematic and keep good records . Use your own measuring gear .. different systems and gear may give differing results and make comparisons frustrating. It helps in learning about your rifle and your shooting and to see the effects of changes and good advice. Have fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t.t Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 If you put the time in and follow the process to the letter the results will be awesome. I have used this method a lot in recent years. I could not get my 6.5x47 to shoot as well as I wanted until I used this method. I have now a rifle and a load that can out perform me. pics below of targets half way though the process. My groups fired round robin with 1minute between shots The final result Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jay666d Posted March 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 That's what I like to see! :-) I've just been working out my load increments, so I already feel like I'm getting somewhere! I'm going to use grid paper too... Much easier to see what's what! All your groups seem very close anyway... On plain paper that would of been a difficult one to call!

jay666d Posted March 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 I suppose it is fairly pointless setting up the chronograph until you've settled on a load! Thanks for all the input guys! :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
