[QUOTE="ENCORE, post: 708051, member: 33046"] I've had to return to your 1st post and read it over a few times, trying to get a grasp. From that post, it appears you indicated that the target that you attached, was your 3 shot group at 100yds. If this is correct (?), then you are shooting left of center on the target, which is ok, you're trying for groups. However, [U]all things being equal[/U] and shooting at 200yds, with that 100yd group, the bullets shouldn't have went a foot right and a foot high because of the bullets or load. Didn't happen because of the bullet or load. [B]Bullets just don' travel like your target indicates at 100yds, then make a sudden turn to the right and upwards a foot each way at 200yds[/B], unless you're hitting something, shooting through a tornado, shooter error or, something amis with the rifle/scope. Its clear in your photo of that target, that the bullets are punching a good hole, so they're flying straight, even though left of center a bit. Something else is happening...... I'd forget about the BDC and use the crosshairs, get it off the bi-pod and on a ROCK SOLID rest, supporting the front and rear of the rifle and shoot that again. If you're heeling and anticipating recoil with the heavier load or, thumbing (squeezing with the thumb) or possibly putting to much finger on the trigger, it will also cause right and high shots. Sorry, but you have me thinking and reading this over a few times....... [/QUOTE]
