Eighteen rounds of 300 H&H from the bench. First try with newly built rifle. Not real encouraging. Got one 1" group and rest were bigger and this was only 25 yards. I used to be able to shoot 20 rounds of 375 H&H without too much discomfort but I think I'm getting wimpier as I get older.
Excuses: My eyes are just as old as the rest of me (turned 60 yesterday ...shudder...) so iron sights are not my friend. Cold and blustery and I didn't bring a jacket so I was cold and wind was blowing while shooting.
Also, rounds won't feed from magazine. May be a simple issue of cartridges being a hair too long. Might need to seat the bullets a little deeper.
