I recently took my rifle out to check the zero and do some shooting. My rifle is a 6.5 creedmoor that was put together by a very reputable gunsmith for PRS shooters. I hadn’t shot it for about a year and checked it over before shooting. I was shooting dimes at 100 and 200 yards. I took a break and then continued on to 300 yds. I couldn’t find the target and discovered I was shooting low. I then moved back to 100 yds and I am not holding a group what so ever. I ran out of time and was wondering if my scope had moved. I checked it when I got home and the scope was tight, but the silencer was loose by about 2 turns. The silencer was only loose and undamaged. Can a loose silencer absolutely destroy your accuracy! Thanks for any help.

Giant heavy thing hanging off, essentially, the crown of the barrel, vibrating differently in each shot……yeah that’ll screw up some groups.
Yup, that can do it. I've seen a muzzle break do it even when tight. Removed the break and rifle went back to shooting perfect. Something right there where the bullet exits has a big effect
That's why I run the yhm mount. Never moves
With that much deviation, you are lucky you didn’t wind up with a baffle strike.
