I may be a simpleton but there’s enough variables between barrels, components, weather conditions and operator error that unless a rifle doesn’t shoot minute of animal or shoots significantly worse than it usually does I don’t worry about it. To do otherwise is like the old philosophers arguing about how many angels could fit the n the head of a pin. Some folks may like dealing with that but I’d rather just shoot and hunt
I dont reload, just shoot factory stuff...but this mirrors my attitude. When I see 2 bullets have literally made one hole and a third has hit an inch out.....i'm thinking my hold and trigger pull were consistent on 2 of the 3 attempts. There are instances where 3 shots are touching and a 4th has wandered. I'm making scope adjustments on the 3 shot cluster and blaming myself on the wild one. It's not an awful problem to have in my humble opinion which may be influenced this evening by Henry McKenna.
