Amazing results with factory ammo

Hey guys

Today i went to a friend of mine to go and shoot my brand new rifle+scope and i was totally amazed at the grouping i got from factory ammo. I can't wait to see what my reloads will look like .

Rifle : Ruger 308 win. M77 Hawkeye Standard Left hand. 1-10 twist and a barrel length of 22"
Scope : Nikon Fieldmaster 6-18x40 SF Nikoplex
Ammunition : Winchester Super X 150gr.

And the results is a 3 shot grouping of .359" at 100 meters (that's 110 yards)

The lowest one, was when i was still sighting in my scope.

The only reason you shot like that is because the world is coming to a end. Oh wait that was gonna happen 15 minutes ago, good group all is well

NICE!!! can't complain about that.

nice group i wish i could shoot that good! lol

Thanks guys.

I really didn't expect to get a "clover leave" with factory ammo. I do hope that i can achieve the same or even better then that with my own reloads.

Just waiting for the .308 win case length gauge + zip trim and a set of dies. If all goes according to plan i should be able to pick all of it up on Saturday. Then i will be able to go to the range next weekend with my own reloads

VERY nice..... right in the kill zone.... Quigly would be proud of groups like that....

Now that's a clover leaf, with a little stem on it.......Great Shooting!
It ain't all the ammo doing that either Blade, you gotta be a cool hand Luke to shoot groups like that no matter how tight the weapon or the ammo is.

Thanks for the comments guys

I have been shooting when i was still in high school. One of the sports at our school was shooting with .22 LR Anchutz at about 25 yards if i remember correctly. There i learned trigger pull and breathing, which does help a lot.

There is one more thing to try and learn, well that may involve a to have a bit more balls then brains. Especially for me being a lefty, i can see my scope twitch every time my heart beats. I don't press the rifle into my shoulder to help with the recoil like most people do, i tend to back off stock from my shoulder. The stock barely touches my shoulder, which helps me to stay dead center on a target, while bench resting, even at 100 yards. And most of you guys know that a .308 has a bit of a kick to it. But i still love it

That darn heart beat will ruin your groups every time,LOL. When shooting with a t-shirt on, this is very noticeable....the crosshairs will move quit bit from the pulse... I've started using a rear bag and like you, barely make contact on the shoulder with the buttstock.

I haven't noticed that, but i'll sure to have a look next time. It is winter over here anyways, so, most shooting will be done with a jacket on.

I also use a rear bag, works like a charm.
