Today I shot my 700 Titanium BRX loaded with a new bullet I have been wanting to try. The 103 Vapor Trail by Tom Jacobs in Missouri. I seated 5 at 2.715 inches and 5 at 2.730 inches measured off the OGIVE. I began at 800 with the shorter round. First shot went high. Shots 2 , 3, & 4 went on the same horizontal line (water line) which is always a good thing. I then dialed in the scope and shot #5 actually hit the one inch black bullseye.
Now the 5 loaded at 2.730 inch ogive length. Shot 1 and 2 made one hole dark spot (touching) and shot 3 stretched group out to two inches. At this point I was ready for an egg, but I wanted to hook and reel in Nick, a first time shooter at the DOME who had never shot a bench rifle, so I let him shoot the last two rounds. His second shot was one inch below his one inch bullseye.
I had to reduce size of pics to post here because message said they are too large.
Shots 2, 3, 4 waterline at 800, then I dialed scope in and almost touched the one inch bullseye
