[QUOTE="Bravo 4, post: 344948, member: 8873"] Man, that sounds like you just had a bad day at the range. I would chalk this up to lessons learned. When testing loads I try to do it under the best conditions possible so I give the rifle every chance to show me what it's capable of...try to take out every other factor like wind, shooter error, etc. Even if a 20mph no value wind doesn't have an effect on your 100yard trajectory it will surely have an effect on you. And you have to be honest with yourself, call your shot. What I mean by this is you need to anotate exactly where the reticle was at the exact time the rifle fired (ex: It was a 1/4" to the right.) then write it down. I keep a record of each shot in a data book as soon as it's fired. It has a spot to mark your call and a larger target to mark and label each impact. Then compare the two and you can conclude how much of that group was really you. Don't give up and you will get there. [/QUOTE]
