[QUOTE="Redman2002, post: 707905, member: 46148"] Hi Everybody, Getting tuned up for a hunt next weekend. My setup: Thompson Omega, Nikon Omega BDC 300, BH 209, CCI Mag Primers, Barnex 250 Spitfire T-EZ. All shots off bi-pod on a cement bench, rear bag. Three shot group using 100 grains of BH are pictured below... thinking wow this is awesome. Then shoot at 200 yds, not EVEN on the target. About a foot to the right?? and about a foot high (according to BDC reticle...I know BDC not accurate) Confused, back down powder to 85 grains. 100 yd shot still on the money, hitting exact same place where as the 100 grain shot.... Shoot to 200 yds with 85 grains, now about 4-5 inches to the right? Correct elevation for BDC reticle. About a 3 inch, 3 shot group. Shoot 300 gong which is 24x24.. aim at the far left corner, shoot...GONG, three shots GONG..hard to tell where I hit on the gong (range does not allow paper targets at 300 yds)? So my question is, why such a tight group at 100 yds with 100 grains, then a foot right at 200 yds? Did back down powder really affect the bullet flight that much? Not canting the gun, scope is level? Thanks Andy [/QUOTE]
