Donovan,
I mounted my NF 8-32 in Barrett rings Thursday and went to the range with some New RB DTAC's and 105 Berger Hybrids. I bore sighted the NF and my first shot was about an inch from my 1/2 inch bullseye. My zeroing was done with some old style DTAC's I had left over. Next two shots cut each other so I was ready for the new RB'ed DTACS's.
I did not touch the elevation or windage knobs during the entire test. All three of these bullets shot to the same POI.
Next, I took the new RB DTAC and shot three shots, All three cut each other at 8 O'clock on orange bull.
Next I shot three 105 Hybrids and same deal. First two went through same hole, third shot elongated the hole slightly.
Next I had a new, first time to the DOME shooter, Greg Salazar. He had never fired a bench gun. I gave him the Jewell trigger class and let him shoot a group. His first shot was slightly low, probably nervous and expecting the 17 pound Dasher to kick. He settled down and his next 3 shots cut each other art 8 O'clock on the orange bull. He is ruined. I warned him not to come. Hold on to your wallet Greg!
Next, I wanted to compare the RB'ed DTAC to the 105 Hybrid. I shot a 3 shot group with each bullet at 800 yards. I shot round-robin (alternating) so as not to favor either bullet with barrel heat or wind.
The DTAC shot about a half inch less spread. The DTAC also had two of the three shots touching.
To the Hybrid 105's credit, it's group was at least a foot higher on the target.
Small orange dots are one inch. I used the large two inch dot as aim point.
Low left is the 3 shot DTAC group.
High right is the 3 shot Hybrid group
Sorry. It was 28 degrees and I did not get my chrono out.
My fingers were numb.
