Also, try som plinking with that scope you have there, you might find a faulty scope, but you will only know if you "torture test it" to say it some way.

Once zeroed in at 100 yards we move to the other range where there aren't any trees or brush to block the cross wind. This is where you learn how to adjust for windage. If it's too windy we'll come back another day and try again. If wind is above 8 mph or so pack it up for another day. Next time use a dead cat to remove wind noise while recording video.

I always take a .22 to the range and shoot 50-100 rounds through it before shooting the harder hitting rifles. It's easy to fall out of fundamentals with harder hitters, the 6.8 recoil is in the 7 mm RM territory. When I'm consistently printing tight groups with the .22 I switch to the 7. Also shooting 50 rounds of .22lr is what $5. I'll say my 7mm RM x-bolt shoots tighter groups consistently with the 168 - 175 gr vs. say a 139 or 150, no matter what. My thought is the bigger bullets are a bit slower and have correspondingly slower recoil which I hear makes a difference,

Do all??? That my friend was done in 1925 when Winchester made the 270 Winchester. 130's for deer, 140's for mule deer and 150-160 for elk and bear and the magic of that round is it kills well up to 500 yards; if you need more than that, the 7RM has been around long enough to have proved itself as the 270 has. You just spent ? How much on that gun writers promise? Agree on the current Winchester dump as they are nothing of their former selves. Try a Tika and put the money you save in glass and be done.

Most of the time the reason for bad groups is because the shooter sucks and not anything wrong with the gun or the ammo.

I am avoiding Winchester. The qaulity control is terrible. Browning makes high quality products. 6.8 western is the best compromise everything in North America. Don't need anything else. 175 grain bullet with these balistics is the best. Period. Looks like you gun just needs to broken in.

Who do you suppose makes Browning ammo? Winchester makes it.

Jesus Christ I don’t know how many videos about a browning X bolt in 6.8 western I’ve seen by now. Everyone’s been talking about the same crap on and off. Is that really how that US hunting industry is working? It is so boring it is so mediocre it is so not new in the whole concept and it is just so misleading to people looking for some guidance that’s really worth more than just sh…
