ALL SHOT with 155 gr Scenar's from Corbon
the groups are numbered like a telephone...
groups #4&7 were shot with a very hot barrel, all groups are 5 shots except #8, which is 7 shot group, the rifle is way better than I am, this was my first time using a bipod and rear bag (TAB & Harris 6-9) on a bench and the first time I shot this gun, the gun previously had 868 rounds fired by another hide member using 168 & 175 FGMM, I will try those next time...there are 9 groups, I couldnt string 5 shots together, 3 yes, but not 5..I get real anxious once I have the reticle on the target, I'm not patient enough to get the perfect shot each time (this sounds stupid, but is the truth), I need to practice a lot more on this, when I concentrated on my breathing I did pretty good, but I didnt have good breathing everytime....

Re: my first range report, be nice

A Mark V action...really coolio. I have shot Mark V in Wby mags since 1978.

I am contemplating using my Mark V 340Wby action for a build.

Very nice boom stick in something other than 700.

At least you know what you have to work on.
