Made a few changes...and got out and did some test shooting this morning...
Received this new leather bag last Friday...many thanks for the recommendation to buy it, don't remember who'all said it was a good one but, I thank you all.
This is the Beez-Kneez of rear bags for a decent price for sure...

This bag is firm & those ears don't wiggle around as I embrace the butt-stock...also, I took the two white poly extensions out of the butt so I could reach around the butt-stock farther without pushing on the side of it...that seems to be better now.

A while back, I tested the 4.75-0 setting all the way up to the 5.0-0 setting, the full .025" of the last of the adjustments on the tuner...'weight all the way forward'.
There were two settings I didn't investigate, 4.75-9 & 4.75-10...both looked promising as there wasn't much of a vertical component to speak of at these nodes...

Here's what I got...(starting with a fresh wet-swabbed barrel), I had already shot 445 rounds since the last 'wet swabbing' and thought it was time to start fresh again...

Now...I'm not going to make any predictions on either of these settings as they both look like they have promise...
We had a rainstorm move through earlier this morning and the wind was not entirely cooperative this morning. I am going to shoot another target or two so I can give them a fair evaluation with that early morning '0' wind I normally have.
All this testing...sure uses a lot of ammo. Of the 3 bricks I got recently, only two are left now. But...I'm having a really good time!
