[QUOTE="bruce_ventura, post: 1016232, member: 34084"] Bryan, nice experiment. I applaud your attempt to resolve this question using the scientific method. That's not always easy to do in ballistics. Parallax error could explain your results. If your rifle scope was focused at 300 yd and you shot all five groups with the same focus setting, your shot dispersion could have been effected by parallax error when aiming at the 100 yd target. That would have increased dispersion for both 100 and 300 yd groups when aiming at the 100 yd target. Did you remove parallax error before aiming at the 100 yd target, and then again for the 300 yd target? [/QUOTE]
