[QUOTE="magtech83, post: 971543, member: 82108"] Being as i just got out of the military i found myself packing everything in the house and last week it was time to pack up the reloading room.. I love having extra bedrooms. But before that happened i loaded 4 bullets +1 clearing for my second ladder test. While the wife went to work today I sat here bored thinking of what to do.. So i pulled the 300 win out and went to a field and set up the target at 300yds. Once everything was set up I sent my clearing after a big flinch. Walked to the target and back and it was about 2 ft low/ 1 ft right... Ok, i flinched, whatever. I set back up and do the same for the next 2 rounds... They are the same distance low but 2ft to the left... Except, these are about 1.5 inches from each other. I'm thinking great, the first was a flinch and now were getting somewhere As i am getting setup for the 3rd shot the gun tips off the sand bags and hits the table... oops... but i think nothing of it and shoot the third.. I check this one and its 1.5 ft higher than the last 2 but laterally the same. I go to shoot the 4th and i am pulling the trigger; ohh look a butterfly right in the scope, BOOM! Wont lie that caught me off guard. Well played yellow butterfly, but my aim was true so i am not worried. This one lands within 1.5 inches of the third... Still 2 ft above the other.. But only a few inches from my Bullseye, which worked out to be close to my drop was at 300yds. Now i was going to come on here and ask, hey ***... But before i did that I went out re-torqued the stock.... Wasn't loose.... Grabbed the rings to check for looseness and the whole base was freely moving... Well i think i found the culprit.. Re-torqued the bases and rings and now i am ready to test out that ladder again... The only problem i have now is that everything is packed away except some factory rounds.. Maybe its time to look for blue loctite. As i finished up writing this i found a tick crawling up my chest.. Was today a bad day... Nope, any day shooting is a good day..... Its just a day shooting that's left me itching for more..But then again... that could be the ticks crawling all over me... [/QUOTE]
