Scope Zero Check Thread

[Dobermann]

All of it. Spuhr’s historically have done poorly with impacts and long term zero retention. The ring design is poor, the small screws for bases don’t hold well, etc.

What? Spuhr no good?

Next you're going to tell us that there are problems with Remington 700 actions and Leupold scopes.

Oh, wait ...

I've been staring at 5 boxes of 77gr TMK's I loaded a night or two before my trip to Montana this summer.

26gr must be right on the cusp of over pressure in the coastal plain of the SE USA but I got to MT and they were too hot. The kinda hot where funk is hitting your hands, primers are backing out, etc.

I changed the load to 25gr LeverEvolution when I got home and have been shooting those just fine.

I figured my Hornady crack dealer scale was off when I set the powder drop so I pulled a few last night and they were right on the money at 26gr of LeverEvolution. I shot some today to see if they were were still OK in my AO and they shot OK, but the accuracy sucked. I'm throwing them in the trash because pulling will take a lot of time and the collet is mashing up the bullets.



After looking at that mess I did a zero check with what I've been shooting since July which is IMI 77gr SMK Razor Core:



Also here's something trivial. I shot a group with leather gloves for the first time. My bag hand felt awesome with the extra material and friction. I need to focus more on the trigger control moving foward with the gloves:

Looks like your zero is a bit off

I can drift around clicking .1 mil back and forth for a couple thousand more rounds but I just leave it be.

If I put 30 rounds on that dot I bet it would look different.
