no we do not share the same rifle,,i am shooting a cva eclipse magnum,,240grn, t/cxtp's 80grns. of 777,, its in the signature aswell,,
bonsaidiver,,
no i was not in a hurry but the caffinee could possibly been a factor,,not sure how so,,could u possible explain on this a little more???? the breathing thing could have been part of it but my beathing was very relaxed,,the only thing maybe was that i was not holding before squeezeing the trigger.
we were using sandbags for a bench rest and i was in a comfortable posisionbut was never in the same posision cause my dad would move the chair cause he does shoot left handed my scope is zoomed in all the way but since u said that the eye relief chages i may unzoom it to about half way,,
hope this help yall a little more
I give up SilverHawk! How can you complain that a first shot is a foot high -- then come back here after I tell you how to fix it -- only to tell me that the 2nd shot was only 1" lower???? Then after admitting sharing the rifle for range work, you now say you don't. I'm getting nowhere handing out any advice here.
You need to go back to the range when the temps fallbelow 75 degrees-- by yourself & start by making sure your barrel is clean & dry. Then shoot three primers to clear the plug& barrel of any remaining residue.
Fire a round every five minutes using a sabot/bullet you haven't tried yet. Although you may not like them for hunting purposes - even though I do.... a nice inexpensive range bullet are the 240 gr. T/C Cheapshots. Swab after every 2nd shot with both sides of a wet alky/Windex spray patch & dry with both sides of a dry patch. If using patches less than 3" diameter with Pyrodex, 777 or real black.... use two.
Let us know how you make out. If errant shots continue, change the powder & start fresh again.
See what happens after that & good luck!
