I'm not too big on shooting off the ground with a bi-pod, at least not at long range.

I have shot thousands of rounds while using a bi-pod. One thing that I've noticed is that the rifle does not always recoil consistently when the bi-pod feet drag on grass, ground or whatever. To determine if this is the cause of your problem, I would shoot the same set-up off a stable, makeshift bench, or switch to conventional sandbags and see if that eliminates the problem.

Just one possibility - Good luck

good idea varmint hunter i will try that out, never thought about the dragging leg thing makes sense also i have to add in between groups i shot some lubed cast bullets at 100 yards maybe the lub residue has something to do withit .thing is in the group i dont know what came first the near bull or the off paper hits .lucky i have some more rounds from that lot, next week i will fire one round check target go back and fire two more and see what happens
thanks
