not 450bm, but probably my worst screwup of a group to date. This was my first time ever shooting for a group past 300 yds. got the gun zeroed with some cheaper ammo (CBC Magtech 147) and then switched over to the 168's as daylight was fading. got it on paper and shot a this group in a rush before i couldnt see the target anymore. the flyer was actually the 4th shot - called it, just felt wrong as i squeezed, knew it was bad.

LR308, 16" - only mods were free float handguard and a mild trigger job.
Hornady match 168gr Amax
4.5-14x40 VXIII

when i measured the flyer in there it still is a 1.397 MOA group, but you wanna talk about bummed when i got downrange and saw it 8" to the left - sonofabiscuit. :shock:

Oh not by a long shot but it is my most disappointing choke.

My worst groups in general came from trying to get General Bullet C.O.P. 160 grainers to shoot. They used up the entire 8 1/2 x 11 sheet. Ditto on the first production run of Remington Green tips to name a few. :lol:
