[QUOTE="ST42, post: 190356, member: 9437"] Woods, First let me state that I am just a beginner when it comes to shooting past 500 yards. But it seems to me that 3" of drift at 500 yards is less than MOA. If you can rule out hold and check weld errors along with any wind component drift. I would start to consider the possibility of drift caused by the spin of the bullet. I seem to remember reading something about this on another forum, but I can't remember what they called it. Of course it could be that your scope isn't aligned vertically to your bore......:) Not much help, but I know I'll be interested in finding out the answer too. Shawn [/QUOTE]
