Took the GPR back out again this morning. After 4 shots at 58 yards i was more than pleased with the groups. Right at 1" 4 shot group. Rifle was going off like cap lock and just loving the 80 grains FFg goex.
Moved out to 71 yards, first shot nailed the tiny 1" orange dot. Next shot was 1" below and the next shot barely missed the second shot by 1/4". This was with 90g FFg goex.
Next 4 shots i was playing with to see where my 110 ffg load would hit but i couldnt seem to get anything to group. It turns out, all of my shots were LOW and way off to the left of the box.
On my last shot i noticed the rifle tip downward and to the left.
I dry fired a couple times and it ended up that the side of the hammer was hitting up against the rubber rest and when the hammer would fall, it would move my rifle off to the side and cause the bad groups.
Next time out i will be putting down 110g's and a wheel weight PRB with .018 pillow ticking and see how she does again.
Of course i'll be a lot more careful and make sure the lock doesnt hit the rubber rest
Last night i also applied 5 coats of birchwood casey gun stock wax. Holy moly! I love that stuff! Added just the right amount of gloss to the stock and made her smooth. A dozen more coats and i'll call it good.
Time for lunch now and then swab the bore clean.
