the bad news is, people with no knowledge, will read posts that say shooting groups is shooting a ladder. and from then on the definition will be lost. all because one person posts that shooting 5 shot groups is a ladder. it is not
life is too short to put up with spoiled children and fools.

View attachment 1046960 so after suggestions to re do ladder test with once fired brass, i did. i also switched up and went with RL33 and 150 gr smk's in my 6.5 SAUM 24" PROOF CARBON barrel

although i thought it went well, there was a bit of wind and not sure why the first shot was so low. i had already shot about 6 rounds to find zero at that range (at another target)

i can't really see a definite pattern, would appreciate constructive criticism as alway. i didn't call any shots, every shot was a suprise break and i felt on target. ( there is no sling stuf on this stock)

prone with atlas bipod, rear bag, midway shooting mat, beautiful day, in the shade, on concrete, with labradar , cooling rifle off every 3 rds

I like your fps flat spot between 56.0 and 56.4. Retest from 55.8 to 56.6 in .1 grain increments to confirm your fps node. Then work on seating depth. Have you ever thought about testing at a shorter distance at first to remove variables?
