Have recently started to shoot my savage m12 204r in a local comp. It starts at 200 yds, one shot at a score target, about 1.5" 25pt center. Then ten shots on another. No sighters or flags. Off bench, rest. Some hit 25 on first shot, some not, including me-not. Got a 23 one week, a 22 next. First was wind, second was 2" high. I have sighted in dead on in previous practice session, 5 t0 1 day before the match. Is this a caliber, barrel thing? Don't clean, btw. Have been thinking about dropping off at the gravel pit and firing a shot 1 hr before the match starts. Guess this would be cheating. The other guys wouldn't do this---would they?
Just asking, is this a common problem? Correctable? Any tips?
Thanks, Ron
