[QUOTE="Hand Skills, post: 1671311, member: 103303"] It's not a popular answer, but that whole recoil/POI thing is what brought me back to shooting '06 based cartridges nearly 20yrs ago. It's not impossible to shoot a 'big gun' to the same POI from different positions, but it takes a lot of work. Poor bedding, and/or a flexible stock can exacerbate the problem. Here is a good read; [URL]https://www.ballisticstudies.com/Knowledgebase/Hold+that+Forend.html[/URL] Adding weight to the rifle can also help, but for me that's never seemed like a great option. Dropping the powder charge can help (drop down to the next accuracy load) can help a little. As for 1 round elimination, a 10" gong sounds like a lot of fun, but a 24"x24" piece of cardboard is a lot easier to pack around. It provides more data on misses too, which can be helpful. -36" long 1x2 stake -Hammer tacker to drive stake and staple cardboard [ATTACH=full]141046[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
