Loving this story. Old chap took up benchrest shooting in 2016 because he was getting too old to wander the moors after deer. Using a Savage Model 12 F-TR (308 Win) with a Timney trigger and a Choate Varmint stock, he broke the UK 1000 yard record with a 3.090" group.

“My rounds are nothing special,” he told AccurateShooter.com. “I’m using Sierra 2155 155 grain bullets over Vihtavuori N140 powder and CCI 200 primers. I use Lapua brass (large primer) full-length sized in a Redding S bushing die to give 0.002″ neck-tension.”
I think 50 years of shooting stags in vile weather may have had something to do with his success.
