Last November while hunting with my partner in Montana I had three opurtunitys at three nice bucks. Two were whitetail bucks and one Muley. All were wall hangers.
I missed all three Clean...
One shot was 170 yards One was 268 yards and one was 358 yds.. I checked these ranges with a range finder,
I am noted among my hunting peers as being a dead eye shot and I never miss.
I shoot a Ruger 270 stainless with a 3x9 Leopold
I hand load a 130grn speer SPBT with 53 grn of IMR4350
I crimp each round with a lee crimper.
I sight my rifle in at 200yds to shoot 2 inches high.
My theory is my trigger pull seemed hard and I was pulling up while shooting. Or am I just getting old and cant hit S$$t anymore. It seemed like I was shooting high. any suggestions would be appreciated... I have made long shots up to 400 yards with no problems.
