I am curious on the opinions of the board on the following matter:
I recently purchased a used .223 Tikka T3 TAC and it is my first rifle. It has a Buckmaster 6-18x40 scope and I primarily kill paper targets between 100-300 yards. I shoot from a bi-pod and a table in seated.
1) All I have shot is PMC bronze 55gr and Remington UMC. I cant tell if its me or does the shot miss the target most of the time? I didnt get many groupings
2) Is there any affordable and accurate ammunition that one could but factory loaded and be able to shoot say 100 rounds a week?
3) Does one have to hand load for this kind of accuracy
4) What ammo would you recommend if buying factory for tight, consistent, satisfying groups?
Thank you ahead of time and I apologize for not finding the relevant answer by searching.

I very seriously doubt this has anything to do with terrorism. 1) Harbor pilots are VERY seriously vetted, and highly trained. Not to mention extremely well paid. My experience knowing a few of them, and knowing how they are recruited and screened tells me that there is a slim to highly unlikely chance that a harbor pilot would have participated in anything like that. 2) Maintenance of foreign flag ships is well known to be dubious. Especially these days. These were NOT US flag, Jones act sailors. It was (to my understanding) a largely Indian crew on that ship, with a Ukrainian Captain. Indian crews are not exactly known for being stellar. 3) The bunkers (fuel) these ships use is ‘Bunker C’, which is a heavy, dirty fuel oil that can, and usually is, pretty contaminated. This stuff ain’t your car grade gasoline or diesel fuel. It’s nasty. It requires nearly constant filter changes and maintenance to the engine/generators. The ship took on fuel prior to departing port, which would stir up all kinds of shit in the fuel tanks, which would contribute to particulates in the fuel lines/filters. 4) I’d say the posting of the chief engineer for Maserek above was pretty spot on as far as chain of events. This was a shitty accident, with horrible timing and outcome. Not a terror attack. -
I saw Lara's interview on Bannon's War Room, and that gave me pause for thought. Her conjecture depends primarily on the veracity of her sources. Regardless, if it's not applicable in any way to this ship disaster, the methods described seem valid to me. And worthy of consideration for the future. As I said before, IMO something is coming.
