Howdy, First time posting - hoping for answers an recommendations.
I am shooting a Savage M99E (short barrel) and reloading .308 w 41.8gr IMR 4895 (higher charges were all over the paper) @ 100yds.
Pretty tight group at 50yd - but was shooting low and spread out - hitting low initially. Adjusted the sights and need to correct some windage, as I was shooting slightly Right. (see pic)
Am I obsessing over the spread you see circled "after adjustments"? Thinking of trying dropping my charge to the lowest; 40.0 gr and seeing if I can get a tighter group.
Question is - is this the best /tightest group I am going to get with this rifle?
My 7mm Rem mag is a nail driver @ 100,but that has a longer barrel and the trigger was worked on .
Thanks!
