BTW, Scott’s detailed load development program leaves nothing to chance. Clearly, he does not support the concept of “It is the Indian and not the arrows.”

Scott has been shooting big 338s for a long time, and has settled on his current version which is very efficient, i.e. accuracy to go with the wind-bucking BC. To that effeciency, Scott found his best accuracy with the Hornady bullet that is the focus of this Daily Report — an ogive that tunes easily and does not leave your barrel life on the testing bench.
It is the consistency in his loading package sitting under this great bullet that brought the Championship home. This is not Scott’s first success on the National seen as I believe he has also won for HG Score with a 338 in a prior National Championship. Iron has sharpened Iron.

As an engineer, Scott’s loading program, component selection, rifle setup, and hard work was all planned in detail — and he worked the plan. No accidental victory here.

Congrats to Scott and Hornady for a job well done.
