So I have a Remington 700 AAC-SD in 308. I had the barrel cut to 18", threaded and re-crowned. Worked the factory trigger down, put a Nikon scope on it and started shooting. I got it in the .5 - .7 MOA range. Decided it was a heck of a shooter so I put it in a chassis. Took it out tot he range this weekend. Figured out the scope is going to need to be changed because it tracks like crap. Good hunting scope not good for dialing elevation and windage. Anyway, while shooting strings yesterday I noticed, especially at 200 yards a lot of vertical stringing. Hand loads with precise load charges and the projectiles are all same weight.
I've shot lots of long range before but I was more of shooting just for MOA at steel or silhouette. This type of precise paper shooting I'm somewhat new to. The gun us grouping very good, at 100 yards I shot several .2-.3" groups. The string pictured is one of about 4 groups at 200 that were all just about identical. left to right .1-.3" which is lights out, but stringing .6-1.1" vertically.
