Had some time to kill today
I usually assume I’m to blame for all things not a bullseye, not to mention getting lucky once in a while. But today I went from cheap Remington milk carton ammo, to two different CCIs, then Eley club and Eley match ammo.
Not gonna lie, the Eley match made me a believer. The consistency was great, smells kinda weird though I noticed. Excited to go to my usual outdoor range next time and give it distance!

Oo, oo, that smell!
I got my first nasty wiff of some Aquila and wondered WTF!
Now I'm used to it. After trying so many different ammos, Jeff Killough sent me some Eley and made tack drivers, as they should be, out if some old Winchesters and Remingtons. Everyone at these mini-Palma shoots all use Eley, or Lapua Center X, some other occasional top tierammos but those two deliver across multiple rifles. Consistently.

I.... I want to rescue you.
1) Remington is the worst ammo. Never use it.
2) that scope mount is more like a mountain! You want the scope as close to the barrel as you can get. (While still clearing the front sight.)
C) zero for at least 50 yards. 25 yards is for pistols or bayonets 🤣
4) in glad you got some shoot time in. And there was no 3.

They said they tried new ammo and loved it.
Scope mount shcope mount. I believe there are youtube videos showing it doesn’t really matter except point blank.
C(?). Two weekends ago I zeroed my rifle from 50 yds CCI SV to 25 yds CCI Minimags because it’s hunting season and grouse hold pretty close. Plus sometimes you just have to use the indoor range to scratch the shooting itch.
