[QUOTE="ICANHITHIMMAN, post: 784001, member: 10414"] OK that explains a little of the writing, Where are you from? Guys for his sake lets not use acronyms anymore or at least explain them for him, and try to avoid using slang, or references. I speak a second language and I know how hard this can be. Your typing "aol" we use "COAL" case over all length, most of us use a culminator to measure this from the bullets olgive as it gives a more consistent length. I have to say you load work up is very organized which is great. I think the over all them of what the guys here are trying to tell you is only change one thing at a time. Shooting technique is very important to consistency. Here are a few key things to remember. I shoot off the ground from the prone supported position, you will need a solid front rest (sand bags or bipod) and a solid rear rest. They sell stuff for both but you can make them just the same with socks, sand etc. Body position is key and I am going to be talking only about the prone position. Your body and the rifle must make a strait line from the muzzle to you heal, we call this "getting strait behind the rifle" it lets the recoil forces travel in a strait line. Next when aiming the rifle at the target you should adjust it (on you rest) so that your not holding it there, you body should hold it there. If your twisting it of putting pressure on it from your hands then your effecting it. Next is trigger pull and hand position, I am right handed so my left hand is tucked under the but of the rifle, my rifle hand it the only one that moves the left never leaves the rifle until I am done shooting. The right hand loads the rifle, operates the bolt, and makes adjustments to the scope. Hand position on the rifle is thumb strait along the side of he stock, trigger finger is placed so that the middle of the tip of the index finger is on the trigger, you must not allot any other part of the index finger to touch the stock.
