[QUOTE="Aimsmall, post: 1606212, member: 97286"] Parallax has ZERO effect up to 200 yards (scope manufacturers set it fir 200 yards). Your original post said these groups are from the range, so I’m assuming you are either shooting 100 or perhaps 200 yards. So forget about parallax. I have owned a few custom ultra light weight rifles from the best gunsmiths in the industry, and none of them would shoot 3 shots within 1/2”, two yes, but nothing more than that. Two suggestions, get a sandbag fir front rest, and call fierce to see what bullet weight they use to test fire their rifles. Then buy ammo from s couple manufacturers in as close to that bullet weight and design that you can and see how they do. Fierce guarantees 1” (moa) which is not ultra accurate in today’s market. Cooper, GA Precision,Surgeon, etc all guarantee 1/2” with premium ammo. Regarding shooting technique, you are starting down the right road. Get a dummy round, chamber it (protects from firing pin over travel), put a quarter on the end of the barrel and dry fire. When you can consustentlydry fire without the quarter falling off, then you have good trigger pull. If the factory ammo doesn’t work, then you either have an ultra light weight rifle that is inherently not super accurate or you can get into reloading and not with cheap stuff. After 40 years of reloading I finally purchased a great scans (A&D $750 with auto trickler, Redding match dies ($200), case prep machine ($125), Norma or Lapua or Alpha Munitions brass, and good billets (Berger vld, hornady ELD, etc).
