i think 3 ...but where was the wind
are you shooting off a bipod ?
same vertical as the other gun
nut behind the wheel
 
Definitely some human error. Wind was left to right but variable. My gun was not perfectly aligned. It's hitting for left but wind was still pushing it right.

As for vertical, I don't have the gun dialed in perfect but mirage and mirage off suppressor could have got me.
 
if you want to test a load/rifle, take the shooter out of the equation.
get a front rest, and a rear bag.
 
A front rest would be nice. Right now I'm using a rear bag and bipod on a shooting table that is not the most stable either. I may try my next test off a shooting mat and bipod to make more stable shots. Overall, I felt pretty good about the shots but know there is some human error
