Darn fliers, they just seem to happen and ruin your day

[Fishjager]

I just upgraded a brand new Remington 700 SPS that I bought. .223 with 1/8 twist, 26 inch barrel. I put a Grayboe stock with pillar bedding on it. Then a Trigger Tech 700 Special Trigger. 20moa rail with a Nightforce NXS 8-32X56. Since it was threaded I also installed a Griffin Armament titanium muzzle brake for my can. I got excited and could not wait to get to the range and try it out. These are a couple of my groups fired at 100 yards with a brand new gun. I'm impressed, so tomorrow I will hit the range for a few shots at 500 yards. So far I love this gun. You can see I have a couple of fliers, but I continued on and shot some pretty tight groups. One inch targets.

you haven't told us what ammo and or load info those are good groups!

Lake City brass, 23.3 grains of N140, Sierra 77gr BTHP, COL 2.260, Federal 205 primers

I loaded these for my AR, but they seem to work pretty well in this new Remington. Today I was shooting at 500 yards and working on a really good group until I pulled that one on the right (darn flier) As I say a flier can ruin your whole day. Same load. I can't complain though.

You could've lied and said Benchmark, there goes the N140. Lol
Great shooting, I'm sure it'll show you more looking at those targets once you two get acquainted!!

I call them heartbreakers, because they break my heart !!!

I think if someone hasn't experience that dreaded flyer, then they haven't shot enough. They don't break my heart, just make me mumble: ****, several times.
