Looking for some help,
I have a T5Xi 5-25 secured in a LaRue LT-111 mount on a 6.5 RPR, shooting Federal Non-Typical 140gr. I have checked my zero on 3 different range trips at this point (Not consecutively) and the zero seems to have moved on me. I'm using 25 in/lbs of torque on the rings per LaRue's response via e-mail for 22-25. I am wondering if I am not torqueing the rings to the tube tight enough and should go a little tighter or if perhaps something else is causing the issue.
The following are my environmentals and adjustments needed to obtain zero on the range trips. POI is in inches.
Original zero: 01/15/19
Alt: 674'
Angle: 0*
Temp: 34*
Dist: 100yd
Second zero: 01/28/19
Alt: 289'
Angle: 0*
Temp: 27*
Dist: 98yd
This club didn't have enough room for me to move the target back while shooting from prone.
POI: 0.4Left, 0.43Low
Third zero: 02/14/19
Alt: 674'
Angle: +4*
Temp: 37*
Dist: 100yd
POI: 0.71Left, 1.70High
Could I need a higher torque? If so, what should my max be without harming the scope and in what increments should I start going higher? Is it because of the ammunition I'm using? Or is it the slight change in environmental?
I'm completely puzzled here and could really use the help.
