[QUOTE="mwkelso, post: 1779097, member: 110880"] Moot, found it! OP: I was asking a very similar question to yours not long ago, maybe a month or so. The trouble I was having was tight groups at 100, but things would start falling apart beyond 200. About 3-4moa falling apart. Part of the issue was shooting factory ammunition, but the other main part was on me. A lot of the above advice is sage and worth the time to learn. Most importantly though, learn and stick to what works for you. I’ve made it a practice/habit to dry fire 3x before each round going down range. Some say it’s wasted time, I say that it settles nerves and gives me 4x the amount of trigger pulls than just shooting alone. I know when my trigger will break, I know where I am in my breathing cycle, I know how my reticle moves with my heart, and I know where every point of pressure is on my rifle when I’m about to let a shot fly. Without the dry fire pulls, I would be too focused on recoil and controlling breathing to have any knowledge of the others. Just my personal experience, best of luck to you in the quest for better accuracy. It’s a great feeling when you have a system down that works for you every single time. [/QUOTE]
