[QUOTE="justgoto, post: 278583, member: 17125"] I am looking into getting reloading equipment then trying out my 30-06 for accuracy with my own loads. I am wondering if my rifle shoots well enough. When I hooked up my scope the adjustments didn't go as planned and I am wondering if there is a problem with my 30-06. Here is what the targets looked like. [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v39/justgoto/shooting/firstadjustment.jpg[/IMG] (The hole in the paper plate is old.) [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v39/justgoto/shooting/2ndadjustment.jpg[/IMG] I am kinda thinking my rifle is not shooting properly because after one click scope adjustment down my next shot looked like this. [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v39/justgoto/shooting/badshot.jpg[/IMG] The dirt in the left side of the pic. There was a tree close to that red line angle but I would have had to be missing the target by 50 feet to hit that tree. I was thinking there is a headspace problem but the other shots were in line vertically. Unless there was a bird I hit and didn't notice, I have no explanation for that shot and that bothers me. So I am going to buy reloading equipment, then load my own ammo, then try to see if it does that again here at home before I take my rifle out anywhere. But yeah, I will PM you with my info and when I get this sorted out I will gladly go! I really want to try shooting over 500 yards with my new scope! It could be over a month before I will be ready, I am thinking of buying another rifle, maybe a 308 or a 338 winchester mag but I am still looking around. [/QUOTE]
