Took gun out to hunting club to sight in and shoot.

Got on Target with Hornady 150 great American whitetail. Two 3 shot groups under 1 inch.

I put 5 federal gold match SMK 168's under an inch, and also 5 of 7 remaining handloads consisting of 168 nosler BT over 46.2 grain bc-l2 under 1 inch. One I pulled. 3 went through a hole for 2.

So not the best place to shoot, just some homemade table and a broken chair and my bag thing. Even with my heart beat making it dance around and the terrible trigger.

Much better shot performance than I saw prior to sending it back in. A better trigger and stock ought to help as would some load development.

So much happier with my gun now. Not like I let it cool down much either.

I was really pleased with the 150 gr performance. Those didn't group very well before. Over inch and a half. With the gunsmith shooting it in a much better situation than mine. 

I am going to tinker with the 168 grain Ballistic Tips and see what I can get to happen. I think that extra weigh would carry better for me if I had a longer shot. Which I do at my hunting club. 

This will about get me down to 1 rifle for the whole thing. This one is short enough it will work in a shooting house, or a tree stand, and yet still reach out and touch something if I need that.

I'd be happy with my stock old 700 trigger on my 270. So much better.
