Was out shooting three different seating depth sets in my .300 Wby (2X) and .340 Wby (1X). Finished the .300 Wby with no issues and part way through the set for my .340 Wby I started having problems. Groups were moving in the right direction going from long to short with the first two depths at or more than MOA at 100yds and the third at around 1/2 MOA for the first three shots. The fourth in that set was high, which could have been me (I had already shot 51 rounds through two heavy, unbraked magnums at this point). Starting the next set of four, the first round was higher than the fourth in the prior set and the next three were off the target. The next set had none on the target.
Prior to those last two sets, I was shooting pretty good and finding a good seating depth for the .300 Wby. Up to that high fourth shot, I was shooting pretty good, so I don't think it was me, but I was getting a bit tired by that point.
So, my question to you all is if you have ever experienced a failure in your scope's erector, what did it look like on target?
My set up during the failure was as follows:
Weatherby Mark V Stainless in B&C stock with barrel floated chambered in .340 Wby Mag
Hornady ELD-X 230gr pushed by 94.1gr RL-25 and Fed-251M primer
Riton RT-S MOD 5 GEN 2 6-24x50 IR FFP 30mm with Riton Rings and Weaver bases
