If it's shooting that well tweaking is not needed.Thank you guys so much. This has been some great advice. For a little more background. My rifle is a savage 110 accutrigger. Its just a plain jane synthetic sporter stock, sporter barrel. Last 3 round group at 100yds with about a 15 mph quartering wind measures right at .6 moa. I think instead of load tweaking my next step will be to lap the locking lugs and bed the action. Then when I mount the new scope I'm going to use a 1 piece 20moa cant base. I feel that once I get all of this accomplished I will have a rifle capable of more than what the operator will be capable of.
Kirby, I'm glad you brought up the idea of getting off paper. I agree 100% that I will be better off ranging and engaging targets at random distances (and the size of vitals).
Anybody have anymore thoughts? I'm open to all sorts of opinions and advice.
Thanks again, Jason
My advice to you would be to save your money now and get a good scope with either target or tactical turrets and either an MP-8, Mil Dot, or Tactical Milling Reticle.
Those reticles will all very much help you to see your misses and know exactly how much you are missing by at any range.
Once you settle on a load, you can always then have a custom elevation turrett made as well to help you fine tune your shooting even more as well as to help you dial up even faster in a hunting situation.
For most people the less thinking and less math you have to do in the field the better off you'll be.
