No sane man would want to touch that Psychopath babbling bitch with a cattle prod.🙄
Dude, you have obviously never used a cattle prod. The only time I used one was to get a 2300 lb bull into the trailer. After seeing his reaction I'd gladly touch her a time or ten with one.

Groups are to small

Here's some trivia:

500-Round Group at 300 Meters — Now That’s a Test!​

For load development, some guys shoot 3-shot groups. Other guys shoot 5-shot groups, or even 10-shot strings. But for testing its projectiles, Sierra Bullets takes it to another level entirely. A while back Sierra was testing its .30-Caliber 175gr HPBT MatchKing in the Sierra underground tunnel. The results are show above — a FIVE HUNDRED Round group!

The tunnel testers sent five full boxes of bullets down-range. Here are 500 Shots shot in a 300 meter tunnel. The group size is 2.82 inches (that’s edge to edge of the farthest shots, less the bullet diameter). This was a pressure/velocity test for a commercial customer. The Cartridge was .308 Win, loaded at 2.800″.The powder was Reloder 15. A 26″ barrel was shot from a return to battery rest. The gun was cleaned every 125 rounds and two foulers shot.

What do you think — could you beat this group from a bench for 500 rounds?

One Facebook poster joked: “500-round group? Everyone knows anything less than 1000-round groups are a waste of time and statistically irrelevant.”

Sierra’s 300 Meter Testing Tunnel
Ever wonder how (and where) Sierra tests its bullets? The answer is underground, in a 300-meter test tunnel located under Sierra’s factory in Sedalia, Missouri. The photo above shows the construction of the tunnel back in May, 1990. Like most bullet manufacturers, Sierra does live-fire bullet testing of its projectiles. Sierra’s 300-meter test range is the longest, manufacturer-owned underground bullet test facility in the world. Sierra offers free tours of the test tunnel as part of Sierra’s Factory Tour Program.

Thanks that tells me how far I have to go. I’ve only been reloading for about 4 months now I’ve bought every gadget or tool they make. Powders ,brass and bullets watched every YouTube video on the web. I just started fooling with this 22 creedmoor . Iam on my second barrel on my Seekins Hit 6.5 PRC . My set is basically I can load a few rounds walk 30 feet and shoot out to 300 yards my point is I’ve shot a lot of rounds. I can find great groups and low es/sd but I struggle to the same load to produce the same results from day today .
You're loads are not producing the same es/sd's? What kind of differences are you getting?

I don't get exactly the same ES's and SD's with the same load either, but they're very close, where I'm just looking for SD's in the mid single digits. Here's a couple of pic I took last year of my data for my 6.5 PRC and one for my .308 (and I'll point out that those results are not all the same load, as I'm a tinkerer ;)):

We all do dumb stuff

Had a 45-70 JM stamped; the stainless version with the laminate stocks. I look at the prices of them now and choke

And my ex FIL has my JM stamp 30-30 he just had to buy off me….

Sigh.

Yeah but you were able to give him his daughter back... so evens-stevens.
