You just have to see what your barrel likes. 30 gr might be good in some rifles, but maybe not yours.
Yes it is.
Ok, if you play with the ballistics calculators:
107SMK running 2750fps. You click for a 10mph wind (54 inches), but it's only 8mph (43.2 inches), you'll miss by 10.8 inches at 1000 yards
107SMK running 2850fps. You click for a 10mph wind (51 inches), but it's only 8mph (40.8 inches), you'll miss by 10.2 inches at 1000 yards
That extra 100fps would only save you 0.6 inches at 1000 yards! Speed, as mentioned, does very little to fix or cover up mistakes.
Id like to see how 28.1 looks at 500, might be interesting
Nice rifle and group! Now go learn how to read the wind...
At mid range it darn sure helps though.\
There are several competitors shooting under 2. Inch at 600 yard in light gun -5 shots
Hg 10 shots is a little more difficult. WR is 1.9 100 points 7 x
NBRSA
Just a friendly reminder......Speed doesn't win matches!!!
Right now I just wait till I see flags stop moving . Lol . The range i use has rows of trees on both sides . So I guess I’m a little lucky there .
Guess I need to go buy some depends . Just broke 2” at 500 yards !

What about the wind?
Actually it was pretty windy . Starting to notice a left to right pattern . So with a little wind I hold a little left . When the flag is going full bore I wait ! Lol
Lol ! How did u know ? Waiting on delivery of another 6Br barrel to replace my 308 barrel . I’ve been trying to be accurate with my 308 for quite a while . Done trying ! 6BR RULES ! Lol
At 300 yards I don’t notice it much , but at 500 yards I can really see the effects of my breathing on the crosshairs . I breath in crosshairs go left . I breath out crosshairs go back to POA and then I shoot . Wish I could keep crosshairs from moving . Any suggestions ? Using almost free recoil . Ultralight hold on rifle !
No eliminating it. It's part of the sport. Breath control is crucial. Breaking the trigger on a slow smooth exhale helps keep the gun in a steady state
i remember my first 6br. pretty much the same youve got. savage with a shilen, loved it.
you're in for it now though! next will come the custom action, jewell trigger, cut rifling barrel, manners/mcmillan stock, you'll probably graduate into a BR improved case like the Dasher..
is all that extra worth it? yep! lol
good shooting, have fun with it!

I sure hope you’re wrong . I’ve spent a fortune all ready . Just bought a $170 Protektor Dr rear bag . $170 for a fricken sandbag !!!!!! Jeeeezzzzz ! Lol
i might be. depends on how much you get into it. no doubt you'll have plenty of fun with you're setup now.
that was just my experience in a 15year spread. the accuracy crave all started with the 6br.
Wait till you buy a stock for 1k. Then you will surely know your addicted.
