The 3 things I changer that seemed to make a big difference was I tried some different ammo for one. I changed the bipod that I had been using which allowed it to pivot from side to side to one I had that was totally stationary. Then I adjusted my trigger and lightened up the pounds to half of what the factory setting was. I have no complaints about the groups I shot today at 200 yards with this WM. I'm very pleased with it. I will keep experimenting with different bullets to see if there isn't some that this rifle likes even better. After I adjusted the scope this is what I was able to do consistently. I'm stoked about the 200 yard results. Now this is more like it.:hump:
These are the new bullets I tried. Remington 200gr SWIFT A-FRAME PSP. The rifle likes those much better than the Winchester's.
Academy has far better prices and more selection that Bass pro shops. They also had cases of green tip penetrator 5.56X45mm FMJ 62gr in cases of 1000 500 and 150 so I picked up a 150 case for $69 for the AR. So I loaded up the 60 round magazine with those. After getting the WM where I liked it was time to have some fun with the AR-15.
While I was at Academy I also saw .300 WM ammo in 208gr Amex "which I've heard excellent things about" 210gr also 220gr. I did not even know you could get 220gr off the shelf for the WM but Academy had it all.
I made a vid of me dialing in and shooting the WM just to see if I flinch at the recoil. I saw no signs of me flinching at all. I'm totally comfortable with the recoil of that rifle.

Having a little fun with the AR afterwords.

Because somewhere up in Alaska thousands of miles from me is a large brown bear. And one day our paths are going to cross and when they do this .300WM is the rifle that's going to do the deed. I have no doubt about that.
