Thread: First hand loaded shots 22-250

good stuff....now to improove your field marksmanship,without it costing arm n leg...or even $39 for cheap bipod... there are thing you can do to help your cause...
damped prone was always considered the best way to shoot....it takes as much of the human factor out of equasion as possible....
if you can line up on target,close your eyes n relax for count of 20,open eyes and still be lined up...chances are you have a really good rest and will group well....if you fighting to stay inside the 2 ring let alone the 9...well you arent going to do so well..... now I take it you are shooting at targets the way up you have written on them???? dont......turn them up other way and aim to shoot guts out of square,eg make you Xhairs cut that white square into 4 equal bits as you gently squeaze off. your impacts will register on the rings above...or put a small coloured dot in centre of the square if got high magnification...old old old saying "aim small,miss small" the smaller the bit you aiming at,the closer together your impacts should be.... damped prone can be as simple as having soft well stuffed daybag...or a sleeping bag,under mag well of rifle,your arms,hands as per normal and a thick pair of socks under toe of butt......I set my bro in law up on chammy and actually used my sweaty socks for this job...he wrinkled his nose a bit but managed to shoot 2 chammy with single round....
its all about being consistant.
I will post a link to article which has helped lots of folks,myself included.... its nothing new,not rocket science,just something that works.
