Barrel run in day

[CINDERS]

Went to the Collie range today to run in my new 30" HART barrel on my 6.5 x 284 I took along my 308 custom build by Light Force - Ace Precision Rifle Systems (APRS), so I can have 10 minutes of fun doing some shooting whilst the cleaning fluid is working on the new barrel after each shot.
This was 3 shot 100yds off a bench, bi-pod with rear sock (Garnet sand heavy stuff) the load has not been changed from the data Light Force supplied with the COA of the build, the only thing I have done is upped the scope from a 3.5 - 15 x 50 NXS to a 15 - 55 x 52 NXS Comp for 900M shooting at our local club.

Used my MOA ruler I reckon its a .3 group maybe a tad smaller but the .3 is pretty good I have been having a pretty tough time of it with trigger release probably from shooting my mates 460 Weatherby Mag to much this has manifested in my groups getting the 3 o'clock flyer so my confidence in my ability has been somewhat shaken it is good to get a decent group for a change the rifle is brilliant its me sometimes.
The handload is 42gns AR 2206H Hornady 168gn "A" Max 20 thou jump Lap case TTL 50.92mm BR-2 primer.
This is the same rifle I used to win the state invitational Tactical shoot at Swanbourne fired from 600M it was not a cheap rifle but well worth the investment it's a G series and the last Rem-700 they did before going to STILLER actions for future builds. Rifle - Rem 700 G series action blue printed, Basix trigger, #9 Kreiger 26" Match grade Brl 1-10TR, 20MOA rail, Wild dog stock all ceracoated ODG

And just a question what is it about the G series Rem 700's I have heard or read something about this particular series or am I imagining things again.......
No groups from my 6.5 x 284 only used soft loads to run it in 43gns RE-22 behind a 120 SEIRRA 120gn SP.

Thanks in advance P.S target orientation is correct way up, also a good fo par by me the range is in Yards & I marked the target in M oh well its 91.44M then.
