Sub 2" group at 620 yards in 20+ winds

[Jim the Plumber]

I prefer to practice in the wind, and with gusty winds over 20mph today, I gathered up my Rbros 6.5x47 Lapua and my practice ammo (culls), I had just loaded on the Dillon 550, and headed to the range.
  A fresh coat of paint on the 620 yard steel and headed back to the firing line.
Dialed up 3.3 MIL's ( forget to add 1 tenth) checked wind value and from prone with a rear bag and bi-pod, I squeezed off these 3 rounds.
  Group is 1.9" left to right and .8" tall.
6.5 Lapua, Berger 130 VLD target, 42.2 grains of H4350, CCI 450 primers.
yup, done for the day.

Nice shooting Jimbo ! And in the wind too! But remember, it's just steel, not fur!  Lol!

[Blacklab]

Nice! That's a good poke    

Looking forward to stretching the legs of my Grendel soon. 500 yards is my goal by summers end. 600 would be

Nice group. What were you holding on?  I am in the camp of aim small miss small but it is hard to pick out an poi with a white target.

Center up on the steel with my the correct hold for wind.
Elevation is dialed, wind this time was held.
