Shoot at a larger target face to establish the center of your group at that range. Then adjust your scope. Then: practice, practice, practice.

It is a combination of natural talent, acquired skill, equipment choice and load development. Work on #2 & #4 because you're born with or without #1 and you already have #3.

The only natural talent involved is eye sight and ability to sit still..... other than that it can all be learned/practiced.
