[QUOTE="MAD10, post: 1715414, member: 29370"] To me it sounds like you and the second shooter's "mechanics" are off. How's your cheek weld height on the comb, is LOP correct while shooting prone etc. As Laelkhunter suggested you might have a follow through issue too. Do some dry firing on the 600 yard target, stay completely behind the rifle while dry firing and watch where your cross hairs settle after you break the trigger. By all means do not lift your head after the shot. Its not cool playing pop goes the weasel on the firing line lol. When you go hot use the same method as when you dry fired and watched your cross hairs...at that distance you should be able to see your splash through your scope and do not break your cheek weld for nothing which will correct your follow through. How's your trigger ---- is it tuned up properly? .... light enough not to cause you to push shots around the target? What about caliber in relation to weight of the rifle? You aren't running a 6 lb. 300 WM without a brake are you? [/QUOTE]
