[QUOTE="Ldwillie, post: 745780, member: 61806"] Hmmmm...... I have a similiar question. I am typically shooting a .243 win with 100 gr Speer BTSP, but for fun I reloaded some 58 gr Vmax for coyote hunting. When I went to the range to test them out I noticed that I was high about 2 inches and to the right about 1.5 inches. Of course the elevation makes sense with it being almost half the weight of the 100 gr, but why would they be going right? Also, on the same day, I was playing with a big gong at 300yards. In order to hit about where I was intending, I had to hold high of course.... but also about 12 inches to the right. Some wind that day would be part of that but not for 12 inches worth. Does anyone have any ideas on what is going on? Would it be the scope being canted that caused this result? Or could be it be my 1:9.25 twist is not stabilizing the 58 gr.? How could I tell the difference? Of course any insight is greatly appreciated:) LDW [/QUOTE]
