Shot at 200yds. (I wanted 300, but some guys were in the carbine bay and I couldn't back up)
.308 trimmed to 2.010, seated at 2.850. 175gr SMK's. Hornady and Win brass. Bullets and cases were weighed w/in .1gr and measured length to .001. I do have the Hornady Comparator for the bullets and cases. The brass was once fired, and shoulders bumped back .003". I did measure for the seating depth per the sticky, but I would have ended up very, very long.
Remington 700BDL action with PSS barrel and HS stock, off bi-pod and rear bag.
Scope is a SWFA SS 10X42, Seekings low rings and 20MOA base.
Im trying to improve/upgrade the rifle as I learn more.
I just zeroed the scope today, but think I need to dial it in some more. When I did the ladder test, I didn't change a thing on the turrets, holdovers, etc. I kept the same POA, center of targets, through all shots. I feel like I did rush some of the later stings trying to get out of the heat.

Win760: I dont know what happened here. I shot it the same way as the other, but the groups were still spread out.

I am more a Glock and AR guy. Ive reloaded .40 and 5.56 for years. I'm just getting into precision shooting.
I am taking a LR class Oct 12-13th and am signed up for a match on Nov 2nd.
I shoot at K&M in Baker FL.
Thanks for any input.
 
And for the sake of learning, I think in the 4895 and the 3031, loads 4,5, and 6 are the ways to go.
I want to load up 5 rounds of each and see how they do.
The 760, I have no idea where to start. Which is unfortunate as I have the most of that powder.
 
200yds really isn't far enough for a ladder test. If you shoot at greater distances like 400-500yds, the vertical dispersion will be more noticeable.
