OK, I have like three questions... (may develop into more)...
1st. A friend and I both picked up the Remington 700 SPS V in .308,
He went to the range Monday I think it was with another guy and they said they got the scope dialed in pretty tight... At like 75 yards (longest shooting position at this range)...
By bench resting it, He said he was able to hit the center ring on the target and keep really tight consistent groupings...
However the last 6 rounds he shot, still seemed tight, but were about 3" low... Still consistent, just 3" low now...
The question is what would cause this change??? Barrel Warp-age , Dirty Barrel, scope flaked and lost its zero?
Which leads me into my next question...
How much shooting would warp the barrel on this gun?
I mean its a varmint barrel, Bolt action and only holds like 4 rounds... So, its not like he was rapid firing it or anything...
I figured it'd be good to know...
Lastly, we were looking at buying some bulk ammo online from like ammo man.com, could you safely shoot 7.62 x 51? in the .308 Remington?
What are the caveats???
