I've been using the phone skope Bluetooth shutter remote lately and it is great when shooting alone. Get on target! Click the bottom and shoot. All while behind your rifle.
Also works well when glassing animals and taking pics. It's tough to take pics on full magnification by touching your phone screen. Seems to always shake but the shutter remote eliminates all that.

If you have not been, try squaring yourself up behind the gun. Shoulders at 90 degrees to the target from your bench or from prone. That should help.

Switch to a 7mm-08. I hear you have time for a sandwich before the bullet reaches the target.

Obey lawful commands. Video interactions. Hold bad cops accountable. Problem solved.

In short, yes - I have he same problem. Hell, I often have problems even when I have spotter. My wife and my long time hunting buddy are both as bad at spotting as they are reading maps. My hunting buddy gets upset when I insist on reading maps myself but when I let him do it and then ask where we are, the response is often "I don't know". This when we are driving down a highway and he can't follow the turns and creeks and other hints.

One reason I love my .243, ,257 Roberts, 6.5-06AI and braked .308 is I can see my own hits and misses.

Clay pigeons make great targets. At least you know when you hit them.

No, I'm not a Ruger bigot - just an unabashed fan of their revolvers, M77's and #1's.

A good .30-06 is a 99% solution.
