I was laying prone on the ground shooting from a front rest and was nice and steady. My first two shots at 50 yards were touching almost dead center two inches above the bullseye. My next three shots were from 100 yards away. Shots one and three at 100 yards are very close. The second shot at 100 yards was nowhere to be found and I am writing it off as a flier.
My concern is two inches high at fifty should not be four inches high at 100 yards. The target was approximately three feet off the ground so I was shooting slighlty uphill since I was laying down. Could this be a reason for the groups. I know its good enough for deer hunting but I was jsut looking for some input.
As I mentioned above Im using 110grs of pyro RS. I also sight in at 2" hight at 50yds. Im around 1" high at 100, dead on at 135.
Your bullet is still climbing at 100yds, remember your not sighted in dead on at 50 yds, your 2" high. If you were to sight in dead on at 50 you'd be lower at 100 then you are now.
I dont know where you should be hitting with your load being sighted in 2" high at 50yds, you could very well be 4" high at 100. To explain this better, even though your sighted in 2" high at 50yds, your not sighted in for 50 yds, your 2" high at 50yds could have you sighted in for dead on at for example 140yds. You just have to do what your doing now. Shoot at 100, then at 125, then at 150 and you'll see how much your bullet drops at different yardages.
