Need help with my Rem 700 again!
Hey folks,I got back home yesterday and NO I didn't have a good time with my ML. As previously posted I sighted in my Rem Ml at 2in high @ 50yds. One day after missing a deer @around 75yds I rechecked the rifle with my buddy. I found that my shot to be 6in off from where I had been previously been sighted in. I'm using 295gr powerbelts and 2-50gr Cleanshot pellets. Also, my buddy noticed that when shot a portion of the pellet would come flying out like some kind of roman candle! I switched over to loose cleanshot powder and would get in 2 decent shots then my third would hit God knows where. I also tried loose pyrodex and experienced similar results. I'm shooting a fixed 4x Tasco scope and checked for loose mounts etc. and can't find anything loose or out of the ordinary. I've got around 50 plus shots thru this rig and I'm about to pull my hair out! This rig has cost me 3 deer while at home in Mississippi but thankfully got to bag a nice 8pt and a couple of does for the freezer. I'm still wondering what to do with this rig (sell or trade for another)and wondering how to deal with this dilema. All of you have provided great help to me in the past and I hope you can help this old smokepoler out again. MANY THANKS!
