First trip to the range with my OBR. I shot 7 rounds at 25 yards to make sure that I was happy with the zero. Next 7 shots were at 100 yards and I switched loads to 168 SMK. Didn't take the wind into account, (Shot at 4 o'clock). I made my wind and elevation adjustment and shot the center bull. Decided to shoot a 5 shot string after that, but I made an adjustment with my rest, so the string ended up a little high...but all in one ragged sub-MOA hole!!!
I was shooting off a Caldwell Rock BR 1000 rest and sandbags in the rear. I honestly think this rifle can do even better than this. Shot number 15 with the rifle was an educated guess at 300 yard dope that nailed the steel on the first shot. Shot 17 was the same story at 400 yards. Shots 19 - 21 were WAY high at 500 because my "guessing" was off by 9 MOA, and I had to work it down. 22-27 were all on the nuts at 500 on steel. Shot 28 was a return to zero confirmation that was on at 100.
