50* full sun and Montana calm wind ( under 15 mph)!
I took some time off from my Personal Representative duty's today and ran , should say clawed and slipped, out to where I shoot, very muddy.
Started at 25 yards, (swapped scopes around) and was on my bench.
First the troublesome 6mm rem. I was hopping my new windage Burris rings would work.
BUT even with 20 and 20 windage inserts and the scope adjustment ALL the way to the right NOPE, needs more work.
Dang it.
I'll do some scope base work.

Then I did the 8mmRM.

It costs over $2 a shot with my "Custom loads"
So I was using ASST Factory ammo that I got with the gun, 185, 200, and 220.
Started at 25 then 50 yards. It took a few to get in close. Then I did 100 with the new Burris at 6 power and 100 yard parallax setting. The factory are no where as consistent as the Barnes but I got it close. I thought I had it, I only had 3 "Good" shells so I tried them.

I then mover the scope 6 clicks to the left and only had some factory 185s so I tried them.


That will do till the next time then I'll zero  it at 200 yards. 20 shots is plenty for the day.

Good shootin' D. 

I'm sure if you stay with it you'll get something to work on your 6mm.

I have always considered myself to be quite the bullshitter, But ocasionally it is nice to sit back and listen to a true professional......So, Carry on.

Again!!!
It is/was a laser beam.
I'm trying to make a GOOD mount system instead of a cobbled up arrangement.
I think you saw me shooting gophers with it.Embarrassed

Yes I did. I remember now. 

I'm sure you'll come up with the right combination.
