So yesterday I went out to check zero and try some 300 SST. The 300 SST just do not want to shoot in my rifle so I'm done messing with them. If I build another rifle I believe I will go with a faster twist and for sure a different brand barrel. At the moment I have a 1-22 it just don't seem to like 300 grain bullets maybe it's just the Hornady who knows.
I cleaned my barrel before I shot yesterday and it took around 10 shots to settle in. I tried a group with 300 SST and a 4" group at 220 yards was terrible in my book. Then I shot the 250 SST at 220 and just under 1.5". D.U.N! So then I decided that I'd try to ring the gong with my last four shots at 320 yards. I already figured the adjustment at 320 yards so I dialed and shot.
