[QUOTE="HARPERC, post: 532469, member: 30671"] It's a numbers game, and mostly I'm guessing you've really only measured the group. 10 MPH wind gusts, just using rough numbers the calm vs the gust could be 1.5" at 200 yards. Unless you've actually measured the wind, plugged in other variables, and broke out the chronograph you're guessing. An online ballistic calculator can show you the variables Red Rock precision has a user friendly one. Scopes aren't as perfect as we like. First trip out-give it a chance to break in! Lot's of difference of opinion on what that means, but be patient it's early in the game. Clean it good, make sure everything is tightened correctly, and try again. The slow down advise is very good, try some dry firing to pass the time learn your trigger. Handload or you may have to adjust your expectations, but trying other loads never hurts, but unless tour sure your break in is complete don't write off the one you're using. Hang some ribbon, styrofoam cup on a string so you can see it in the scope. You're not on a clock so wait til it's what you want. Just guessing from here. Good Luck [/QUOTE]
