[QUOTE="renegadelzard, post: 438213, member: 26916"] Dont get me wrong guys, im not one of those guys who thinks he knows it all and can't learn anything..im open to all kinds of suggestions and higly value forums like this as a place conducive to the sharing and passing of knowledge. I was shooting from a rest and had fired about 60 rounds of 223 before shooting the 06...these are some of the things i consider before zeroing a new load, making sure i try to remove as much shooter error as possible from the equation..i never noticed it before mainly due to the habit i picked up of zeroing at 25 then confirming at 100 all during the same session...somebody here suggested that wasnt exactly an accurate method, so i sighted in at 25 to get it close, then waited a few weeks to zero it at 100...when i was doing it at 25, i never noticed that cold bore shot going high...by the time i got out to 100, they were all grouping tight...lesson learned...so now im thinking doing a bedding job on it...unfortunately, there is a lack of smith's around here to do it, so its on me to get it done...having never done it before, im pretty leary about doing it right...if you guys knew me you would laugh..ill gut a 1911 in a heartbeat, not much i cant do to one, i can build ar's with my head up my butt and still turn out a decent shooter...but messing with my rifles gives me the heebee geebeezs...
