Rem VTR in .223 factory except for an HS precision stock.
Weaver V 16
70 grain Berger VLD's
21.5 grains of Benchmark
5 shots at 100 yards .641"
Shot off bags.
This load is a work in progress. have to tweak the O.A.L. a bit yet.
I'm not sure why, but I always seem to pull the third shot a bit high. The picture is actually upside down for some reason.

Nice going glad to see its starting to group good for you I'm going to have to try to get a good stock for mine this winter I want to try some Varget ,
My best group as of late is with my PGW C-18 .308 and PGW Timberwolf .338LM
5 shots at 300m 1.110" = .245 MOA using Factory ammo 168 gr SMK crimped necks.
6 shots at 200m I think was .300 MOA cannot remember! Hand loads 300 gr Scenars with
88.5 gr of Retumbo. My group is the big holes ;-)

Couple groups shot with Old Rem 700s factory original barrels
Only up grade done triggers worked to 1lb 1/4 both bedded
here is .308win
Here is 30.06 I fired 3 shots and then gave gun to my good buddy Liberty he fired one shot and put it in the .183" group total 4 shots and then refused to shoot 5 th shot and said you finish group, I bugged him for 10 min to go ahead and shoot 5th shot he said there is no way I am F--c up that group, guess who ruined it
Kind of a sad day today, bought this gun for my sons 16 th birthday he shot a nice buck with it first time hunting at 245 yards, he has never hunted since, I put gun in safe and never fired it for 25 years + I just sold this 3006 to a young hunter who I had let shoot it last Sat he fired a 1/2" 3 shot group at 100 y with the 150 gr Power shock Winchesters. He is picking it up tonight

Did it during load development... never been able to get it quite as good
First time ever shooting for groups and two weeks later also shooting for groups. I was happy. Especially for a tactical rifle.
Remington 5R milspec. Completely stock. Zeiss Conquest 6.5-20x 50mm RapidZ 1000 reticle. 100 yards. Front bag and back beanbag. 5 shots. Off the shelf Federal Gold 168.
A couple weeks later. Same rifle but the trigger was brought down to 3lbs by a gunsmith (would estimate it was 5 from factory). Same ammo.
The rifle holds sub .5 moa at 200 yards. Haven't shot for groups much beyond that. But have picked off a golf ball sized rock at 310 metres just using the drop down reticle!!! The rifle accuracy has been very good for me. Have to admit though haven't been shooting for groups in a long long time. I didn't keep a lot of the targets I have had since. First off the range here is in metres not yards so I never thought they looked that good. But after converting they were right up there. Just visually at first you think, good but not the best. It wasn't until later when I converted the numbers that I realized I've thrown out a lot of good targets. Oh well.
I have some 175 SMK reloads to try out with this rifle. At least I know what it can do with off the shelf match ammo.
