[QUOTE="eric1115, post: 1715781, member: 103895"] I may have glossed over something, so mya if this is already addressed... But 2 shots 3.5" apart at 410 does not constitute "shooting MOA out to 400." I would suggest shooting a 5 shot group at 200ish and again at 400 on paper to see what's really going on. Let the rifle cool, as even 5 in quick succession can really heat up if you're shooting a magnum out of something with a light barrel. 10 in a row will get very warm indeed. I agree that two shots under 1 MOA centered on your point of aim is confidence inspiring, and a good indicator, but it's simply not enough data to be sure of what the rifle (or you) are doing. Lastly, consider the possibility that you had built a better position for the 400 target. If you had poor rear support, poor cheek weld, different amount of recoil management, etc that can start to really shift poi. Same front support for both distances? [/QUOTE]
