Drifting shooting groups? Help! - 04/05/11
Hey guys,
looking for some help on this one. My buddy shoots a Christensen Arms Rem 300 Ultra Mag and is having some significant "drifting" on his groups.
The last 3 times he's shot, his groups started out in the extreme lower right hand side of his target and drift up toward the extreme upper left hand side of the target. He takes 3 shots, and then we look at them very carefully through the spotter. After a few minutes, he takes a few more shots, and the group has creeped, up and to the left. This continues with each of 3-5 groups that are shot.
We are shooting hand load 180gr Accubonds, if that helps anything. We have not adjusted his scope at all and we are shooting from a solid dead rest on a table with little to no wind. These shots were all taken at 200 yards.
I've attached a few pics of some of his targets to give you more of a visual.
Any suggestions as to why this is happening and/or any suggestions for fixing the problem, would be much appreciated?!?
