I weighed all my cases, and heads and hand measured the loads, brass was sized with Redding S dies for neck tension control...my velocities were extremely consistent.

That was on Bisley, Stickle downrange
At 600 yds with my 1903 I was printing a close circle around the group made by an AI chambred 260 remington(pretty much a lazer).. he was schooting scope on bipod, I was shooting irons prone and sling..

Man sized Steel plate, don't know which bullet, it wasn't my gun.
Dude next to me gave me wind and elevation, he was a local, he knew the wind in them fjords... Absolute impossible to read the wind there , you just have to guess how the wind will flow over the various rock faces and what not.

But it was a clean hit



We also shot some 50 cal bolt, but quite frankly that thing wasn't pleasant to shoot with..
Even with a muzzle brake that thing kicked like a mule
