Whitester Posted November 12, 2017 Report Share Posted November 12, 2017 Thanks to everyone fr their advice on how to break this gun in as I took it for its first zero session today. i set a target up at 50 yards and bore sighted it using the old fashion method. Then I shot one , cleaned the barrel for the first five shots and then after every five shots, zeroing as I went and moving the target to 100 yards after the first five shots. the first two were near the bull, by the third shot I was an inch high so left it where it was for the next three. Unbelievably those last three shots printed a clover leaf pattern with all holes touching. After a few adjustments, the last 7 rounds grouped within an inch at 100 yards. I was over the moon with the rifle and bullet combo ( Norma 75 g v max) . Not just with the initial accuracy but with the trigger and handling. They are an expensive rifle but I wouldn't hesitate in getting another one, especially as I have a slot for 223:) thsnks agsin for all who offered advice, much obliged.???

moorvale55 Posted November 12, 2017 Report Share Posted November 12, 2017 That's a good result, (and rather pleasing). What is the twist rate on that rifle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve_b_wales Posted November 12, 2017 Report Share Posted November 12, 2017 I've had my T3 Lite (243) many years now and it's never let me down. At present I'm using 100gr SP's homeloads until I use them up, then will go down to a 75gr possibly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven’t tried developing a lighter bullet load yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
