[QUOTE="gunsmith, post: 724847, member: 53434"] One more point to bring up is the magnification of your scope. If you are reaching out beyond 400 yards, you are probably up above 4x magnification. More magnification means more scope movement as you approach trigger time. If you are having problem with breathing movement, try zooming out a bit and getting used to aiming with less magnification. It may seem counter-intuitive at first, but stick with the idea for a while and see if your score improves. Backing off from 10x to 6x at 800 yards seems to bring down my group size, I'm about the same at 1,000 yards for 6x vs. 10x, and out at 1,500 I do better at 14x. It's an individual thing - some guys have dead hands and use 20x. My heartbeat is too powerful for 20x, but I still work at it to see if I can overcome my limitations. [/QUOTE]
