[QUOTE="charliewhisky, post: 2350142, member: 26716"] I have been following this with interest because it appears that you know what you are doing, the comments are on point, and the problem appears to be repeatable. It would seem that, unless you are really changing your hold, the problem would be the scope. I have not done a lot of long range work. Mine has been limited to about 600 yds and the single thing that allowed me the most improvement was shooting paper at that range. I would like to suggest that you shoot a tall target with a single high aiming point on a windless day without using any scope correction for elevation or windage to rule out some weird scope malfunction. Or, if the "walking" error is large enough that you could see results at 100 or 200 yds, you could shoot that single range with groups that are corrected for elevation at the various ranges you identified and see if the scope is walking the rounds laterally. Additionally, you could shoot a single range target with windage corrections for the various distances and see if the scope is consistent in applying the correction. ....... despite what I said about following this closely, I just realized that you had reported this as occurring with several rifles. I suppose my methodology could be used to rule out interactive windage problems on the range or computational errors in the ballistics program at a fixed range. [/QUOTE]
