    I feel your pain. Why is it one day I can go out and shoot tiny little groups in the center of the target and the next week, same load, I get rounds all over the place? I ponder over it, think about it, load up the same and the next week get little groups again. Rinse, repeat.

    I am just glad it happens to others so I don't feel so bad :)

    It's all part of the game. Some we win, some we lose but it's all good. That bug sure looks tiny at 100 yds.

    LOL, yep.

    One summer day I was shooting at 200yd. Flies buzzing all over. I notice one cause I thought it was a bullet hole in the middle of my group. It flew off. Didn't pay much attention and shot the final round. When I looked at the target there was red bug juice around the hole. I guess he thought the middle of the bull was a 'safe' zone after I 'missed' it with the other shots :)

    I know it looks as though I may have, but no. Gives me a better starting point for seating depth. Obviously the bullet I am using along with this barrel do not like seating to the lands. Working on a ladder with .010 jump and then up the line. Whatta Hobby!

    A little trigger time today. 50 deg with some wind. 100 yd and the misses are not the rifle or ammo's fault. It's early in the year so things should improve. Whatta Hobby!
