[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1128149, member: 30902"] You've gotten a lot of good advice on this thread already but I have an idea for you to try. Take a target and mark four one inch bull's, one in each corner (with several inches to spare) spaced 12" apart so they form the corners of a perfect square. Use your top right bull for the aim point for each of the shots fired. Start with your top right bull and fire a shot. Dial your scope 12 MOA down and fire another. Your impact should be in the lower right bull. Dial 12 MOA left, fire a shot. Your impact should be in the lower left bull. Dial 12 MOA up and fire. Your impact should be in the top left bull. Finally dial 12 MOA back to the right and fire. Your impact should be back in the original top right bull. I'm starting to think your whole problem could be the scope. I had several Vortex Viper PST's that didn't track consistently up and down. If that's your problem you could waste a lot of time, money, and frustration chasing all the other possible causes and four shots is cheap insurance for peace of mind. If that's not your problem as others are suggesting the most likely cause is a velocity problem either with your loads, or inputs or a combination of both. We've all had hard to nail down problems at one time or another so you're in good company here! gun) [/QUOTE]
