Also have to ask: Are you checking the alignment of the bullets in your handloads?


Scope is a Leupold 3X9 I use for load developement.

Wind was light from right to left.

No on checking alignment Of bullets.

Same rest on both groups. Range has maybe a 3 to 5 foot drop in elevation over 200 yards.

What gets me the most is the drop.

My range less the cow.

My set up but not the rifle in question.

Serious comment this time: I see that you shoot across a pond, as do we. I often wonder if that creates some variable that isn't there when shooting over land (fluctuating temperature when passing over land/water/land or something).

Not a real member - just an ordinary guy who appreciates being able to hang around and say something once in awhile.
