Re: I need some group diagnostic help

I have been chasing animals with my stick and string for the past few months so the project was put on the back burner. I finally bedded the action last week and took it out for a test run yesterday. Here are some results.
Before
After
That velocity should read 3630fps, I just noticed my bad.
200yd
Can't complain coming from a sport weight barrel and a 9x scope. I would say the bedding job made a noticeable difference.
I did try another load with 40gr BT and TAC that showed promise.
I made a bad 5th shot in this group. The velocities are a tame 3750 but the rifle did not like any hotter load.
I still need to put better glass on the rifle, but it will defiantly do for coyote season. Thanks everybody for the help and suggestions.
