Correction first. The picture is a target from last year when I was still shooting the 223.
I have to agree 100% with your three points. At 100 and 200yds I was able to keep up with the other shooters and their bigger calibers but at 300yds it was a struggle. Hence the move up to the 6mm. Also after that target was shot I switched scopes and went from a 8-34X56 FFP MRAD to a 10-40X56 SFP MOA with 1/8th adjustments.
Point #2. At this point I was just working to establish a familiarity with the cartridge and the powders. Then using up these Scenar that I obtained on the cheap (.20c ea.) from a fellow league member. I got about 600 of them. Once I get settled a bit more I will start with using more of a Match bullet.
#3. I too am just an amateur and still have a number of bad habits. Though I am getting to were I can call many of the misses.
