I realize I have to tweak things to get the accuracy I'm looking for but it's a start!
These are my first ever attempts, just keep that it mind. and the bottom right group was when I was warming up of course. :)
It was shot with a stock weatherby vanguard. I was using 25 gr of H335 and it seemed to like this amount better than 25.5 and 26. I was also using CCI small rifle primers and Hornady 52 gr boat tail hollow points. I left my calipers at home but I will get an exact sizing later! Any advice to try and shrink groups up?

Thanks y'all!
 
Two out of three groups are sub MOA so that's a good start!

What is the history of your rifle with factory ammo? My assumption is that you are shooting a .223 Remington by the powder charges.

H335 is a pretty popular powder for the .223 class rifles and the 52/53 grain match bullets have always given me good results on both paper and prairie dogs.

I've used thousands of CCI 400 and 450 SR primers over the years with great success, but lately I've been using the Remington SR primer, also with good results.

What cases are you using? I've had the best results with WW cases, but to be honest, LC brass in my ARs have given great results too.

I am shooting a .223 Remington, and with factory ammo I can keep the groups just over 1 inch, I was using American eagle brass, but I'm gonna try using ppu that shot today is its much cleaner.
