Hey guys, had a range session today. Was shooting out to 100m today, very light wind right to left only about 1-2mph.
Shooting some cheap 30-06 federal powershocks 140gr, from prone.
My first two shots went into the same hole but my 3rd shot was low and left by about 1.5inches.
Reloaded mag, first two shots went into the same hole 3rd shot was low and left by 2 inches.
The wind had not changed if anything it had dropped to near nothing.
I had not doped for wind as my .223 prior was shooting fine and grouping 5 shots in 3/4moa. ( first shot my error and the rest bang on)
I called the first 2 shots spot on, the third was off each call.
I ran out of light to shoot another group to confirm.
I'm not sure if it was a recoil thing as I noticed myself tensing before the second shot, made the mental note to relax and relaxed. The third shot felt relaxed.
My follow through was good, I kept my cheek weld solid.
I did have some issues with the bipod "jumping" a fair bit, 4 out of the 6 shots I ended up looking two feet to the left off target after the shot.
I tried loading the bipod but that seemed to make it worse so just held tighter into my shoulder and it seemed to settle the shot.
Any ideas what could be producing the 3rd shot low and left?
Hot barrel? I was shooting about 30 seconds between shots...
Shoot, follow through, make note in data book of call, look through scope to confirm shot, mark data book actual shot position, reload, settle, fire, and repeat.
