Constantly Inconsistent
I am new to black power. I have been shooting for weeks now, in prep for a black power deer and separate elk hunt.
I shoot a CVA Acurra V2. 100 gr T7 powder, 245 gr powerbelt ammo. I have a medium range Nikon scope.
At the range I am using a lead sled sighting stand. Every shot I use 2 wet swabs and one dry. I also swab the breach plug and use pipe cleaners inside. I do this between each and every round.
I started at 25 yards, then 50, and then 100 yards. At the 100 yard mark I will have 2 similar shots and then I have a random "flyer" that is 4-5 inches off the mark. It is a significant difference.
I clean the gun the same between each shot, load it in the same exact way, and hold dead on the target.
I am super frustrated.
Is this normal? How can I gain consistency? Is there a better combo of round and power? Am I making a rookie mistake somewhere in my process?
What type of grouping should I be expecting? 1 inch pattern/grouping?
Any help is greatly appreciated!!!
