I went to the range to sight in some optics and test a few rounds. The rifle is a MP Sport (1/8 5R ) with a free float rail and RR 2-stage trigger. I slapped on a Nikon P-223 3x9x40 and target was at 60 yards. By no means am I an expert shooter, but sitting on a folding lawn chair and shooting of a folding table this is what I ended up with.

Now where I can use some advice is I am not very pleased with the grouping of the Winchester SP's. I had the same grouping result with them the last time out also.
Any suggestions on a round I may try that will group a little better that I can use for taking game?
