I fired two five shot groups at 300 yards. One was 2 3/8" and the other was 2 11/16". Both were about 1" vertical dispersion. There was a slight 1 o'clock to 12 o'clock breeze. Anyone know what causes it?

I hate it when they "spring" to the left or right..
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

Anyone know what causes it? I just might have a answer to this mystery A friend wrote this elsewhere, and I have slightly modified it for the question at hand...When shooting at 300 yards with a centerfire weapon, integrating the differential of the function's parabolic natural log means that exponential growth in the ballistic coefficient still amounts to less change in the Coriolis factor impacting wind shift than imparted y the longitudinal tidal force on the perfect sphere on a frictionless plane before imparting the subdural hematoma via hydrostatic shock on the bullet changing horizontal impact at 300 yards.

xp,
Thanks. I think I got it. If I was firing east to west instead of south to north they would have been about 1" groups.

Don’t think I’ve ever seen a parabolic natural log. The ones I see tend to be pretty straight or bowed in the middle.
Regarding the wind. A 12 or 1 o’clock wind would be pretty straight on too. Wouldn’t think it would have much effect.
But math was never my strong point

At 300 yrs that line about Coriolous is total BS. Generally horizontal stringing is wind gust or the shooter....

My post below was in total sarcasm/jest, and is intentionally and absolutely meaningless. "When shooting at 300 yards with a centerfire weapon, integrating the differential of the function's parabolic natural log means that exponential growth in the ballistic coefficient still amounts to less change in the Coriolis factor impacting wind shift than imparted y the longitudinal tidal force on the perfect sphere on a frictionless plane before imparting the subdural hematoma via hydrostatic shock on the bullet changing horizontal impact at 300 yards."

At 300 yrs that line about Coriolous is total BS. Generally horizontal stringing is wind gust or the shooter.... A lot of it is the shooter, even with a scope with poor parallax, it is still on the shooter. However parallax can be an issue. It could also be a rifle issue. Poor bedding or pressure on one side of the barrel etc. etc.. Someone also asked what kind of front rest or bags or bi-pod he's using, with no response from the op. He's likely on a fishing expedition. Also what you have here is a guy that has been telling us how good his scopes are, yet he can't figure out easy issues. Recently he has had issues with a high dollar March scope. He said he couldn't even hit the target and his buddy kept telling him he was shooting over it. There are some guys that can figure this schidt out and others that just don't get it. They never will..

But math was never my strong point Check out the logs in Kansas, sometimes they get a little parabolic. Lots of wind out there!

All the trees here in central ks point north. Definitely will make parabolic logs some day.
