[QUOTE="RT2506, post: 861269, member: 10178"] GET RID OT THE SLED. I have seen so many people using those things to zero their rifles in and then go hunting and MISS their game because the rifle shoots to a different point of impact when they shoot it from the shoulder than it did from the sled. You did not mention if your rifle was a factory rifle or if it is a custom rifle with a good barrel etc. For a factory rifle you are shooting some REALLY good groups. For a custom rifle you might be able to do a little better. Consistency in everything is the name of the game for accuracy. Proper case prep really has helped me tighten things up lots of times. De-burring the inside the case flash hole REALLY has helped accuracy. It lets the powder get lit consistently and not from one side or the other where the burrs direct the primer flame. Keep digging you will get there.:D [/QUOTE]
