[QUOTE="Deleted member 107666, post: 1714066"] This is cross posted on another forum as well... it no bites yet. 2 pics below, 2 x 3 shot groups at each target. 6 total at 500 and and 6 total at 700 yards. Rifle is a 300wm shooting 215 hybrids at 2988. It's a good load, ES of 9 and SD of 3.5, so I'm not thinking that's the problem. Steady full value 10mph wind today, but it was steady as it gets. 2 distinct POIs (mixed between the 2 groups shot at each). Results are pretty uniform over 4 dif groups at 2 different ranges. Is this a shooting fundamentals issue? The groups on each POI match about what my rifle has been shooting (.6 MOAor less, problem is, those POIs are mixed between 2 groups. I dont think they were flyers, it's too distinct over 2 targets to be that. My guess is (and I can feel it sometimes) my POI is impacted by how much I load (or dont load) the bipod. Didnt take notes on which ones went high. But based on the POI of low/right and the others more on target with elevation, but left....is this just a fundenentals issue? Sometimes I feel like the rifle recoils a little more on me if I'm light on my bipod load. At that range would a more free recoil, cause a big enough dip in velocity to impact low like that? If I remember correctly the upper impacts had more of a load on the rifle. Any thoughts? Bad shooting, or is there a pattern here to learn from? My 3 shot zero to start the day at 100 was sub .5 (about as good as I can shoot this rifle)[ATTACH=full]149685[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]149686[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
