This is what happened when I let a much better shot than myself have a
go with my rifle. 3 shot group. We stuck up a second target after that
and he put another round in exactly the same spot.
Rifle, Howa stainless sporter 22-250. Rebarreled in the meantime.

It wasn't me!

Rifle: Sako 75 Hunter in .25-06
Ammo: Federal Powershok 117gr soft point
Distance: 107 metres
Conditions: Strong wind, around 15-20mph, from five o'clock
Setup: Prone off Harris bipod, fist under butt of rifle.

Details: Three shot group. Second shot is the one to the left, which I pulled. When the third one went in the same hole as the first I was gutted at what might have been. Still, sub .75" with a pulled shot, could be worse. Zeroed then with an old box of 115gr Nosler Partitions (courtesy of a generous Boardsie) which shot very tight horizontally, and under an inch vertically, but I think that was me being cold and tired and cranky. Could definitely shoot tighter in better conditions or with a better man behind the rifle.

side note: dev if you read this I said in one of your threads not to try these as I didnt think they grouped well after shooting this group with them today maybe their worth a try...:)

1. Rifle and Calibre CZ Varmint 22lr - customized
2. Equipment used. Harris 6"-9" back sand bag
3. Range to target in yards or meters 50m/54y
4. Number of shots in each group 20 and 15
5. Group size centre to centre 18mm and 19mm
6. Conditions. e.g. Temp. time, wind and direction. Gusting 5mph
7. Ammo. Eley 22lr Sport

I got to put a few rounds through my 22lr to see how they group. Realy this is for the first time since getting the rifle back in the summer, only zeroed before a couple of times. I'm happy with the results.

I'm not sure on the scoring here but if outside counts then I have 2 x 134's and a couple of x10's
I also managed to put a staple in my thumb.



1 Euro coin will cover both groups.

My humble offering from my bog standard CZ 223 varmint:



55gr hornady and 8X scope

Heavy trigger (7lb Yes I messed it up fiddling at it) causes me to pull some shots vertically, hence the 2 slightly above. But I'm Getting this sorted, as close to a custom gun as I can afford .

Got the new Barrel on the .223 this week.
I was running her in today.

I fired 40 shots of 55 grain Hornady and Federal.
Since I got a new barrel WOLF will not chamber any more.

The Federal 50 grain @ €14 a box grouped very well.

I pulled a few shots with the Hornady 55 Grain Moly.
The cold was bitter so it was hard to stay focused.

Hopefully next week will bring some sun and some bunnies.


Thanks to Dev110 for helping me with the cleaning rod and supplying me with some Federal after the wolf would not work.

Just a reminder. Thanks guys

It wasn't me!

After a glass and pillar bedding job by Clive J. It's just a bit tighter than previously and a bit more consistent. Groups will tighten up a bit too. I added some weight to the trigger to have better feel when it's cold, so there's about 3.25lb on it now. Once I'm more used to that, groups will shrink.

Range: 120 yards
Wind: none
Conditions: Cold and wet. Shot off bipod with no rear rest.
Rifle: Newly bedded Sako 75 Hunter in .25-06
Ammunition: Federal Powershok 117 gr soft point

i am in the process of running in my .243 sako/trueflight, i have gone threw 15 rounds of cleaning and firing yesterday, it takes ages.
and this morning i free floated the barrel as the new one is bigger than the old one. any way thats another thread.

rifle. sako/trueflight

range. 100y

ammo. 100gr privi .243

conditions. calm

target. my evil roy portable steel target

first shot on steel was high and right so i dialed into that and then fired a 4 shot string into the centre of the steel



this close up shows that i could cover the dots with my thumb nail which would make the group about 1/2"



cant wait to try some other rounds and see how they go:D:D:D:D:D

It wasn't me!

Got down to Midlands today and did some shooting with the .25-06 to keep the hand in before I get out for a stalk some day this week. Fired first at 200. I suspect the velocity from that barrel is greatly reduced due to the short length, would like to chronograph it to confirm, as it's hitting an inch and a half low at 200 when it should be about dead on.

Rifle: Sako 75 in .25-06
Range: 200 yards
Ammo: Federal Powershok 117gr Soft Point
Conditions: Fine
Group: 3 shots at 1.25"



Then moved out to 300. Had only fired at 300 once before and wasn't settled. Wasn't really today either but wanted to check drop. Wind had picked up a little so drifted a bit. Drop was much more than expected, a full foot, which also points to low velocities, but I can manage it for now until I come up with a fix.

All the same parameters regarding rifle, but 300 metres.
Group: 5 shots at 2.5"
