[QUOTE="Rhino Hunter, post: 425306, member: 25461"] Okay...a newby question here. Today at the range, I first put a fouling shot through my .300 Winnie. Then I shot a three while holding the front portion of the stock/barrel with my left hand. I was on a bench with the gun resting on sand bags at the front and rear. I let the gun cool for about 10 minutes. Then I shot a three more with the front of the gun just resting on the sandbags with my left hand under the gun holding the rear sandbags. The result...the second group was about 2-1/2" higher, and about 1/3 of the size as the first group. I switched ammo between the first group and the second group. Do you think the different grip on the gun or the different ammo caused the substantial change in POI? (I know, I know, go shoot it some more to find out.) I'm mostly curious to hear what you all think about the different grip on the gun will do. Thanx in advance. RH [/QUOTE]
