Stovey, Thanks! Can't you use those self-sticking Shoot-N-C targets on the metal and see your groups?

Cheers, Vince

Nope- them I cant claim. I can spray 'em with paint between brakes- I can tell which is my hit through the spotting scope untill the get shot too much. Or I can run a frame out to 200. Running paper out past the first berm is a pain during the brake. Esp when someone cross-fires or misses a gong with open sights and shatters it.

Since my friends .270 Rem 700 was doing so well with the Barnes 110gr TTSX and H414, I thought I'd try some 130gr Hornady GMX since they do better in my rifle, especially at longer range. The first attempt with H414 didn't go so well. Here are the groups at 100 yards. Not sure why the all grouped to the right. The 110s are sighted in for 250 yards and shot for reference. Got to love a group like that out of an old hunting rifle!!
