Hey everybody,
So I’ll start with my issue. My rifle shoots okay 3 shot groups at 100yds, around 1 moa. Then when I move to 200 yds, the shot groups open up to 2-3moa (1” at 100, 4-6” at 200).
Here’s my setup.
CA Ridgeline in 300wsm.
Zeiss conquest v4 with turret.
Zeiss rings
Nightforce rail bedded to action
Harris bipod
I’m shooting off of a solid bench with a rear bag.
With Federal terminal ascent 200gr my groups at 100yds are 1.25” and at 200 yds they are 6”.
With Norma bondstrike 180gr, at 100yds the group is .9”. At 200yds it is 4”.
The groups at 200 don’t have a consistent error. One shot could go high left, the other could go high right, one will be perfect, for example.
I’ve checked the torque of the rings, and action. The parallax of the scope seems to adjust properly. Scope cant doesn’t appear to be the issue. There is no contact from the stock to the barrel. I can shoot my 300prc directly after shooting the wsm and have .5 moa groups consistently out to 300 yds, so I don’t think it’s the loose wingnut behind the rifle. I’m at a loss and running out of ideas and hoping one of you might have the magic answer.
Thanks guys!
