Three shots in .053" - no not .53" - my goodness!

Dang - hard to beat that ...

I will say the Area 419 Zero press feels more like a Co-Ax than anything else, other than a true co-ax. I will also say that while tiny groups on paper are great, the excuse for misses list just got a whole lot shorter.

The most accurate bullet I ever used is GS custom. It didn't make a difference which caliber I used. I fired a .06" 3 shot group with 265 grain .375 caliber going average of 3055' per second. I fired another bullet and it opened the group up to .31".

Should have quit....while you were ahead!

Thanks guys. I've only put a few shots through that 223 rifle of Gavin's, 19 to be exact. Three factory Bergers, and 16 of my handloads. That rifle and the 77 grain Berger OTM surely do like each other.

Hoping to do some more shooting with that terrific rifle someday. Travis has been doing some shooting with it, and I won't be surprised if either Travis or Gavin end up using it in a match of some sort.

Me? I've moved back to my comfort zone, working up new loads for my 30-06 and 375 H&H.

Regards, Guy

That may explain why I shot three, not five shots... Didn't want to mess up that group! Something I've done all too often.

I'm going to have to try those 77s in my 223 AI. These "trainer rifles" can go a whole lot further than some people think, for a whole lot cheaper to shoot.

Nice shooting.

It seems like we end up where we started. My No.1 .30-06 just came home with a new Benchmark barrel. I haven't used benchmark before.

I need to get my bench back up and running, but it's first up.

My neck don't do .375 anymore.

375-06 is a pretty good option.

I agree. The 223 certainly isn't a 6 Creed or whatever... But it's so easy to shoot well, and as you note, less expensive to shoot. I suspect that Gavin or Travis are going to use it in a match someday.

That is a very nice group but you need to re measure it manually. From this picture, at least three of the bullet holes are not completely encompassed within the measuring circles and this leads to errors in group size that calculate a smaller size than it should be.

I set it to measure the black rings on the target not the tear out around the impact. If you look at post #13 you can see what I am talking about. My targets are all printed on cheap computer paper and I usually see a fair amount of tear out compared to NRA regulation target type paper.

That makes sense. Didn't realise you weren't using good target paper.

Sometimes you own the range, there are times the range owns you.
