How's this for a 15 shot group at 649yds? 15rds as fast as mags could be swapped with a 223ai.  Very fine! I dropped off the parts an hour ago, for my very own .223 A.I. Really looking forward to it! I've only shot this one a few times. I took it to a club match and it is a blast after overcoming a learning curve. Shot this group the next day with the remaining ammo cold bore and all.

Sneaky, Yeh the rifle isn't picky at all. I can't get it to shoot over 1 moa no matter what load I try. Might need Buzz to help me out on this one  Jeff, I'm not doing a latter. I'm using this other method ( http://www.texasprc.club/preidloaddev/). I like it because it's pretty simple and I'm able to maintain accuracy at much longer ranges. I've used Paul's method and another method involving shooting only one charge of each increment over the chrono and looking for the node then load a few to check accuracy in each node (typically you'll see two of them). The chrono method requires a reliable chono like a magneto or labradar but it Typically uses less rounds. What I like with Paul’s method is that I don’t have to play with the seating depth. It might be a little simplistic and not apply to BR shooting but I think it’s good enough for for the type of shooting I do.

Learning curve? More of a wind hold? I know it's significantly more than your 7mm.

Learning curve? More of a wind hold? I know it's significantly more than your 7mm. Yea basically. I'm used to only needing a tenth or so for increase in wind speeds where this one required more.

Bullet design plays a large part in this factor.
