Very nice! And super fast! I have measured 40gn Hornady @ 3589 ft/sec out of a Tikka T3 ,22inch 1/12 twist barrel , I would assume as gn gets smaller , speed increases. What is your barrel length , 24”?

If you could focus a camera as good as you shoot you would be a boss!!!

Neat group indeed. Well done.
What rests did you use.
I currently looking at rest systems.
Been using combinations of bipods and squeeze bags. But seem to have picked up a wobble...maybe it's just coffee.
This makes my results not so sovereign as my poa isn't steady .

Many options on this one. I use a bipod in the field when out for chucks, but when at the bench for colony rodents, I use the same setup I use for load development, steady, no wobble, consistent and repeatable.

Sinclair All-Purpose front rest, Protektor No. 13B rear bag, Super Feet under the rest pins to protect my bench top. Not the "end-all", but has worked very well for me. Just ask that truckload of moribund squirrels. :wink:

I've dug out some empty rest bags I bought years ago.
Might be getting some plastic pellets to fill them rather than sand. I've gotta get steady some how, or Ill need to subtract my "minute of wobble", "mow" from my groups to make my load development not folly...gotta tuner delivered recently......not even bothering until I get steady .. somehow...
Thanks...
