[QUOTE="QuietTexan, post: 2672527, member: 116181"] Is this repeatable? 5 shots isn't very many data points to work with. If the ordering is repeatable, meaning it continually walks right, you have some kind of stress somewhere in the rifle system, or your hold is changing between shots. If the ordering isn't repeatable but the total horizontal dispersion is, then moving right could be a coincidence in a small sample and you're in a poor seating depth node. That would be a pretty big coincidence though. I lean towards the first option of you're inducing something into the rifle or hold. Group dispersion takes a lot more data points to fully quantify, so the next step here is to simply shoot more, see what the overall group size is, and if there is any consistency to a pattern in how the bullets impact. Assumptions I'm making is this is not mix-and-match brass, not a gritty 6# trigger, your loading skills are capable of making loads that are better than this group was, and overall system of rifle/optics has been proven to be capable of smaller, more consistent groups. Basics first. [/QUOTE]
