Guess i should have also said i wasTesting out factory loads. 143 ELDX factory shoots great. Middle pic bottom is 16.99 a box federal non typical.Good to know i could use it for hogs without change zero
Man I wish i had half the knowledge of firearms that y’all do. All I know is I have a couple rifles that always get the job done, I wish I could do some of this stuff though. Need to start researching!!
The middle 3 shot group was just a sighter.
Load development 243 Win shooting 108gr Amaxes
Started at lower left and worked my across then up and then to left with increasing powder charges.
Nothing fancy. Just a T/C compass 6.5 Creedmoor. With a Bushnell banner 4-12x40. Only thing done to rifle was a trigger spring swap and a YHM brake.
I don’t take a lot of pix of groups unless I’m surprised. And with only having less than $300 in rifle. I was surprised.
This is rifle and first outing to the range at 200 yards. Using Hornady Black ammo 140 grain HP.

Jeez, if I didn't pick up one of the walmart Weatherby deals I'd have to be all over one of these for $200.

I went between this and the Ruger American predator. At the time money was a little tight so I went the cheaper route. I would have been happy with 1” at 100 yards. But around 1/4” at 200 yards blew my mind.

I call them wallet targets...you keep one bragger group in your wallet to show how good it can do. However Nobody ever accepts a challenge for $$$ when approached for 5 / 5 shot group average.
I won't be shooting or posting groups but settled at 1/8" 3 shot group during load development and it will still shoot at least minute of sheep at 515yds
