Looks like winds will be very still saturday so will see if I can squeeze a 5” group out of it at 1000 yards.
Idk this new batch of Bergers is .007 different jump so that could change things.

If you are shooting the 300gr Hybrid. Chances are .007 won’t make much of a difference. Most Hybrids I have shot like as much as .040 off the lands as compared to the original standard 300gr VLD. The original .338 VLD I use to “Jam” .015 into the land to get top accuracy, the Hybrids I shoot like .040 off. Same story for the .300 Win Mag and the 215’s. H-1000 is the top choice. Retumbo as a desperate second if H-1000 is scarce. Federal Match 215’s across the board.

A empty vessel makes the most noise.

That horizontal looks a little spread to be wind. Could be parallax, Cheek hold or trigger.

Coriolis effect!

coriolis can affect point of impact but will not widen group size.  At 1000 yards Coriolanus is about one click but it’s also very consistent and will not effect group size only poi.  Wind or trigger or position can.
