I was pretty surprised to see that dramatic of a reaction moving just .3grn increments. I shot this in early March and haven't had time to tinker anymore due to this crisis going on. Been swamped at work, ironically.

Got out this morning wind started at 12 to 15 full value from the right. 70 degrees.I put the magneto speed on to get some data on a load I'm playing with on my 308. I switched it over to the creedmore for the same thing. Then shot the 308 with the standard load. All groups are 10 shots at 200yds. My shooting partner and i then switched to shooting an M14/M1A
First is 150 Lehigh 3015fps es 14 sd 4.9
Fed 1x bumped .003 and lee collet neck sized. 46.2 Rl 15 br2 2.865 coal round primers easy bolt lift. It needs seating and I should have dropped .4 or so grains to keep it closer to 2980fps. In lake city, this would have been hot to overpressure. Fed has the same capacity as my lot of Lapua lrp brass so I don't waste it trying new things. I didn't shoot it without the MS because I only loaded the 10.
Second is 6.5 creed 45.5 Rl19 cci200 win brass 147 2.830 both guns had .2 right dialed and could have had .2 more as I was trying to hold the same.
Last, is my standard 43.0 rl15 LC necks cleaned up weight sorted m118lr cci200 168smk 2635fps 2.820. I use this load in Lapua brass and br2s for completing. It shoots a touch better but most days I cannot shoot the difference. What was good was my typical fliers came when I was shooting the m14. Open sights 1983 fn surplus ammo and a 3 stage 8# trigger. I shot both with glasses and without. I shot better when I could see the target than when I could see the sights. W/glasses 67 without I shot a 73 and 89. This was on the SR 42. We were using a 200yd reduction target for 300yds but shooting at the 300yd line because that is what we had. Hopefully, I can shoot the normal target before the event. The black on the reduction target was about perfect for the size of the blurry post for me.

Excellent shooting. Couldn't even see the target if it was me!

Bought a new semi auto 223, while zeroing shot this 3 shot group at 100 with 55gr American gunner ammo. 2-10x veracity for the scope. Pretty impressed with the out of box accuracy and factory ammo too

wouldn't it be great if Can-Hunter were to tell us what brand of semi-auto 223 he just bought?
With my 260 I've been loading the Nosler 142 ablr for hunting and the 142 match king for target. Saturday morning cold bore with Nosler at 496 yds on hog. 
Then Sunday morning cold bore group with Sierra. Same load same hold Lapua brass.
The one shot on orange man was Peterson brass same load same hold Sierra bullet. On the yellow man cold bore with 264 win mag 135 A-tip.

Wonderful shooting! I'd keep that one!

I'm hestitant to post this because of the clutter. Please ignore the lower shot, it was from a different rifle I was shooting. The little cluster above it is a five shot group, including a cold bore shot out of my 300 RUM sendero. I'm so mad at myself for pulling the one shot to the right. I felt it as soon as the trigger broke, and sure enough, it printed to the right.
