[QUOTE="Canadian Bushman, post: 993765, member: 41122"] I personally always test the way i shoot and hunt. Every shot is done with my shoulder. This gives me results i can confidently reproduce in the field. Rifles need to recoil. In the field, you cannot reproduce a shot where the rifle does not recoil. If im having trouble getting steady i will use more rest. Sometimes shooting off a bipod and a backpack, rolled up towels, stacking blocks under the rear rest etc. Rifles don't just recoil back they also twist, left unsupported or uncontrolled this twisting can wreak havoc. Getting the barrel as close to the support and widening the stance is what helps this. I highly doubt the comparator is the problem, but it could be the the way you are using it. You could of changed your seating depth here. If you have a finicky load it doesn't always take much to throw it out of tune, and ive had hpbt vary as much as .015" from tip to tip. My recommendation is to perform a seating test again using the bullet comparator and shooting the way you did the first time with careful attention to form, trigger control and natural point of aim.
