[QUOTE="Bravo 4, post: 966431, member: 8873"] Was the target they sent you shot with the same load you are trying to zero? If not then you can't expect the same performance. Or- Maybe you are heating the barrel up, let it cool between shots. For all you know it took them three days to shoot that group. If it is consistent and that's the load you are dead set on using then keep the data for any follow up shots ready in case the first round misses or isn't enough, the first round data is the most important because it should be the one that counts. A couple things on this post: A lead sled isn't gonna take out the all the human error, unless you have a bad recoil induced flinch. Even then i dont recommend them, plus I'm sure you don't plan on using it while hunting. And reading about how to shoot might give you a few pointers but if you are not executing properly you are just setting bad habits. I hear guys (even instructors) tell people to practice dry firing and such, but if that person doesn't really know what they are doing I believe it can be a negative thing to do because they are just practicing bad habits. Practicing while under observation is better, especially while under a trained eye. [/QUOTE]
