I get sympathetic squeeze when my thumb is wrapped. The thumb also helps with fast bolt work, but if bolt speed is your only issue, I think you're doing ok.
Thanks,
This was my theory and I was just looking for confirmation.
While not formally trained beyond my Pa's hunting skills and the U.S. Army Drill Sergeant's skills, I do know the fundamentals and can generally shoot sub MOA with my cheapo Rem 700P LTR, but it only has the factory H&S stock and no pistol grip so the thumb squeeze doesn't seem to factor into my hold as much as it can with pistol. I find I have to use a sling to pull/push and load up the bipod with that setup to get the best groups.

I only use a sling for kneeling and carrying the rifle from here to there.
I signed up for a UT CCW class while I'm out there for work.
Want to be ably to carry if I visit the kiddo's in WA.

Today we did 900-1000, then reconfirmed zero at 100 (to make sure our scopes tracked correctly) and then hit the mouse trap and the rat trap.... Those two are nothing more but a small and large, respectively, obstacle course that has shooting ports and small targets to shoot at.

The magpul DVDs are very well produced, and their section on equipment selection is really neat.
the part about density altitude, barometric pressure, and humidity is spot on though.
you can also true your ballistic curve using muzzle velocity and bullet BC.

At least in your case, it seems that what you're learning is NOW, repeatable NOW.

Army's been using 10x for a long time and killed a lot of bad guys at farther than that. You'll be fine. The duplex reticle might hinder fine adjustments to poi. Look at what the magpul DVD says about the duplex reticle.

What a shitty day.
First, I have to fly on 9-11. I left my damn MiFi at home. On final approach to SFO, they have to ABORT the landing like 300' off the deck. the gal next to me is freaking out a little. 30 minutes later after a go-round and do-over, we're safely on the ground.
Out to the hotel shuttles and I realize the wrong hotel has been booked in OAKLAND across the bay bridge and there are literally no rooms available in SF at a decent hotel. Never in my life have I been so pissed off and bummed out to stay in a $500/night Hilton the travel agency was able to squeeze me in. The clerk felt bad and upgraded me to a suite. BFD.
The expense team is gonna hate on me next week. I'm going to bed.
