What size is the group at a 1000 yards I don't know what size target your using?

The group size and target size are on the screen shot: 1st target-1.97moa,2nd-0.59moa,3rd-0.50moa. All are on the NRA Long Range FC at 1,000 yds

Not questioning that. Was it shot same string or back to back?

Within 1 minute, so same string, 1 sighter...X

 

[Killick]

I just realized I have the 2 and 3 strings reversed so the middle string was last and the one where I had the target face issue.

You let somebody else shoot your rifle. Second string was a dog shooting and 3rd was a 4 year old.

So which primer did you use first and then change to?

My go to primer use to be the Commie white/red box or Wolf. A good friend/champion shooter told me about the S&B primers and how it would cut my SD and groups in half. It took a while for Cabela’s to screw up my order but they finally came and I tried them out one weekend. My first experience at the range was “OK”, better than my previous load but just ok. Later that evening I thought about it some more and realized I had not tightened the front rest ears on my SEB Mini. I shot good-ish groups but there was too much elevation The above range session is a true representation of how it improved my load.

I was going with it being a trick question and you put the .284 down and started shooting the “creed”.

Seriously though, that primer change made a huge difference

Sb primers have been solid. You have to build the load around them can’t just replace your current primer and expect good results. But the sd is regularly around 5 with them.
