I have a fairly nice range in my back yard when the crops are all off..
Set-up with a shooting shack and about 1300Yards to play..
I can do really well with my Rem 5R in 308 between 100 and 400 yards.. Well under MOA
but when I start to push the range out past 600 yards things fall apart..
Recently shot a 5 shot group of about 10" at 700 Yards.. ( I'm not happy with that..) and believe the rifle and my reloads are capable of better..
My issue may be due to parallax adjustment..
I cannot follow low lights on-line explanation of moving your head side to side (up down) to get my reticle to remain on target..
My scope is a SS 5-20 HD
#1 - How much should I really be moving head. I don't believe I am moving so much to get shadowing..
#2 - How much could this adjustment be off compared to the range noted on the adjustment.. Eg.. 200 yard setting when shooting 800 yards ?
#3 - I will pay more attention to my cheek weld and see if this could be the culprit..
#4 - I can move my head up and down with ZERO movement..But when moving side to side.. I see large reticle movement
Going to my hunt camp this weekend where we can shoot as far as wanted from a perched position over a snow covered LAKE..
It make's corrections and sightings EASY..
And is a blast when shooting balloons and steel ect..
