    Even though CCI SV grouped ok the first time I sighted in the rifle, it wasn't working for me today. The posted groups was my go to SK Long-Range Match.

    Good looking rifle, my Cooper will do a flyer if i'm aggressive with the bolt handle. Ever try to load them single? Maybe the angle changes when going through a mag full.
    That rear bag, is it from the veteran that makes them in Pendelton, IN. It looks like his work, I sent my older son a small and a medium last year. I have two small and medium myself. I like the adj bungee on top, I cut open one small one and filled it with heavy sand...

    Is it the last shot that's a flyer?

    Not the last, more likely to be the first or in the middle. I haven't tried it without the suppressor yet.

    It's a new rifle that I'm still getting used to and the trigger pull weight needs lowered a fair amount. I haven't played with the adjustments yet.

    The bag is a Wiebad mini fortune cookie.

    Ah, ok. Had a thought that if it was the last round there was something going on with the feeding. Had a Ruger that almost every group the last round was a flyer. Finally figured out the problem was the magazine. Replaced that and all was fine.
    What kind of ammo would be be next question but you posted that further up. Most of my CCI SV groups look very similar to that, especially with the newer production.

    Most excellent shooting! One thing about shooting more than 10 round groups is it is very good test on a person's ability to maintain concentration. Not a problem for you!
    very nice shooting Eagle eyes. At 50yd I doubt I could see a 12x12 target without my glasses.

    Thank you both for your compliments.

    Actually shot the H&K 416D better at 50 yards same range trip than I did my new Ruger 9mm PCC with factory iron sights, not by a lot but better.

    Best 10 shot 50 yard group out of the CZ 457 today. Wolf Match Extra with two flyers of which the one to the left (10th shot) was probably me and the low one (8th shot) I'm blaming on the ammo. 0.29" without flyers, almost 0.50" with flyers. Used a bench rest today instead of the bipod.

    I have never been able to achieve better than hunting accuracy with a bipod regardless of the caliber.

    Did you torque the action screws? Try any different settings?

    I loosened and torqued the barrel set screws and action screws when I got it but haven't played with various torque settings.

    The can seemed a little loud this morning as did the bullets hitting paper. I think my hearing got better.:laugh:

    Still not a bad group. Ten shot groups are a good test of the ammo, gun, and shooter combination. Was this newer or older Wolf?

    Manufactured by Eley and bought 1-2 years ago.

    Someday I’ll get my 22 can… Over a year in jail now.

    Mine took ~7 months and my 9mm took ~6...you should have waited 6 months to buy yours...lol

    Not the hijack the thread too much - but I have a stamp back from November the took about six month. I still have five in jail. Its torture.

    Still have one more I want - just waiting on the CGS Siren to come back around to my LGS for a 22 pistol can. Then I hope to be done with NFA stuff forever or at least until next time...
