[QUOTE="upacreek, post: 987505, member: 59039"] So it seems I have hit another snag. Performed ladder test, prepped and loaded shells as close to perfectly the same as I could. So proud of my efforts. Go to shoot my 400 yard target and the first two shots were 1" apart. That was great! 3rd shot was 4" right. Bummer! I had 6 loads in 3 shot groups. After a LOT of walking its ****ed me off. My verticle strings were never more than 1 1/4", but horizontal was as much as 12 inches. The only difference was I forgot to bring my blanket to lay on. I shoot off bipods with support under the butt of the gun. I know my shoulder has had a yellow bruise for 3 weeks, but I dont think it is making the difference. What is frustrating me is with the ladder test my horizontal was never more than 6" at 400yrds. After reading all i can find through the search feature it COULD be how I was holding the gun and trigger control due to discompfort missing my big blanket and having to lay on the dirt. You guys have any thoughts? I just wasted 18 bullets. But the cool part is that if I only looked at verticle grouping I was averaging 3/4" to 1" with 5 of 6 loads. If I could bring the horizontal into 2" or less, than life would be perfect! As a side note my chronograph showed between 8 and 12 fps spread with my h1000 loads and 25-35fps spread with magpro. Velocities with magpro were not as good as expected and the h1000 did good. [/QUOTE]
