[QUOTE="Capt RB, post: 1435476, member: 85987"] I have 2 targets I bring to the range every trip. They are the redfield sight in targets. One is the load map with the different seat/powder charge target. One is the cold bore for the rifle(s) being shot. I put these at the 100yd line every session. The cold bore target(s) are shot first. I shoot at the load map second shot. If there is a new hole vs into the existing group hole(about 1" now) I will shoot the 22 till the line goes cold. I have done this for years. It can show things that Phorwath is talking about. Since it's all on one target If I don't see a change I don't worry about it. I learned this over 30 years ago before all the cool kid gear was made available. I use one of my business yard signs for this. They are clipped to it and ride behind my truck seat 24/7. I can put notes like first light early morning high noon etc etc. The position of the sun in the sky for both time of day and day of year do have an effect. If you have a map of it you can correct for it. If you don't know it exists how do you know why it is different? It is also the fastest way to know that your load needs to be tweaked due to temp or da. [/QUOTE]
