[QUOTE="benchracer, post: 749980, member: 22069"] First off, by the sound of things, I think you are shooting pretty well in mirage conditions. Mirage always makes my shooting go to hell in a hand basket! Personally, I am just starting to work on learning to handle mirage. In my limited experience so far, mirage typically makes me miss high, in addition to playing havoc with my wind calls. The fact that your groups are staying tight makes me think that your trajectory problem is not mirage related. Given that your POI @ 100 is about right, I would tend to suspect your "new batch" of ammo. Even so, 5 MOA low at 300 seems like excessive drop even if your ammo is a LOT slower than normal. Are you shooting the same bullet and the same weight as before? Though parallax can contribute to shooting error at long range, I don't think a simple parallax error would come close to 15" @ 300 yards. [/QUOTE]
