Went to a class this weekend (Delta Red Training in San Saba Texas, great bunch and beautiful range to a mile and sweet pistol set up.). Anyway, Shot the stock Remington 700 PCR in 6.5 CM. I think these came right before Remington switched hands. Its accurate at 100, 5 shot group below. Coldbore hit the X then the next 4 drifted right.
Like last time, I had no trouble hitting a 1moa dot at 1000. Then like last time at 1400 it started to get really wobbly but I could get hits on a standard silhouette. . By the mile it was just tossing them the fuck out there. Even with Hornady 140 ELD it was pissing in the wind. Like 3 mills off, then one .5 mil. No wind to speak of. WTF Or is that about right for a 6.5 CM stock rifle?
The lead instructor said his 6.5 would do it but Bartlein barrel. Probably has a better rifle all round as he shoots competitively.
So looking at the new barrel, if not a Bart, get it trued and tightened. etc.
Or would just going to a higher end rifle to start with.
Assuming "I do my part" will that work likely get it RELIABLY to a mile and save going to a more punishing caliber. Dont have much desire to go beyond that unless it just fell together. But I will do a mile.
