Frustrated... can't shoot 1/2 moa

[Exodus343]

Adjust the cheekest height so that you can clamp the buttstock between your face and your rear bag.
You should be able to close your eye, get on the rifle and then open your eye and your eye should be aligned through the scope.
If you can't do that, adjust the cheekrest until you can.

Thank you again Randall

really don't know what I will do without a strong precision shooting community living in my county

Still obsessed with my post count eh? You've got problems(and you're also a liar, but whatever). At the very least some of what your post is worthwhile, unfortunately you keep watering it down because you're jealous of post counts, mad that not everyone wants to shoot the way you do, and who knows what else.

The word your looking for is "Amazed".
I am amazed that anyone with 13,000 posts on a shooting forum knows as little as you do yet YOU feel the need to keep posting,Amazing.
If you find any errors in my posts point them out and I will correct them.
As to being mad about people not wanting to shoot like I do YOU really need to listen to yourself and step away from your keyboard.Most here want to shoot accurately which is exactly what I do and YOU don't do.
This thread only took a negative turn when YOU started posting and that again is nothing new.

ENOUGH WITH THE BICKERING. Take to PMs or take it face-to-face, but take it somewhere else. I don't care who said what first. STOP IT.

Lololol "why can't I shoot better than a professional shooter? Come on! Its my 3rd time shooting!"

[Exodus343]

UPDATE

went to the range today
got behind the rifle

did load development

shot a 3 round group that measuered 0.6xx MOA at 100 yards
if I was to count that 5 round group it would be 2 ridiculous flyers that happened because I accidentally slipped the trigger

No such things as flyers. All shots count. Statistically, you need seven shots for any real significance, they tell me.

No kidding, this thread is so good that it's dragging me away from the OT.

Congrats. What were the steps involved? Minimum powder load, add 0.3 increments, 3-5 loads of each set? What did you rifle like and what powder?

[Exodus343]

Exactly what you said
0.3 increments, 5 rounds,
My rifle likes 43.6 grains of 4064

Still need to test out Varget

[Raralith]

How much powder did you start with? How many loads did you develop? What did the ejected case and primer look like? Did you shoot prone or bench? Bipod or bags in the front? What did you use for the back? Depending on what you are planning do, I'd consider maxing out velocity for range and different shoot positions.

In regards to the shoot slippage, do you have the adjustable trigger (X Mark or something?) if so, did you set it to the lightest break? Do it it you havent before you consider a new trigger group.

I have a older remington trigger and I guess I'll start playing with the pull weight

and off the bipod with a rear bag

loaded 40 rounds 5 round batches started from 41.5 and moved up in 0.3 increments

no pressure signs even at 43.6
