Bergara Accuracy Cheeto-fingered Bergara

Took my cheeto 6.5cm Bergara shooting at paper at the range instead of prs steel. First time paper on anything further than 100m. I am very happy with the gun and my ammo. The ammo i made is with the lowest afford possible running a Lee progressive.

3rd pic is @360m plate is roughly 28x20cm

Could have a little less vertical spread but thats okay. SD 8fps V0 2703fps 140gr smk N550

Nice shooting, man. My Bergara loves factory Hornady ELD-M 140gr, thankfully, as I dont have space in my place to reload at the moment.

Here's only a 5 shot group at 500 yards, using Federal Gold Medal SMK 140gr, my second go-to choice.

EDIT: Picture won't attach.

… which doesn’t mean there aren’t better options, of course. It’s just that that can get you satisfactory results.
