take the time to read this link......it should help explain things and help you out no end.

Haha yeah that's the one!
I don't know why, or where it came from, but I thought for zeroing I had to let the foreend rest, making sure I didn't impart any pressure on it so it was the same each shot. I wouldn't have shot at an animal without a front hold, so I'm not sure exactly why I thought it was ok for the bench haha. Lesson learned though.
Next step is to buy more ammo and head back to the bench. I was going to try some Hornady, but knowing I had poor technique I think I might stick to the Federal's and try to improve with them. Then if I'm still not grouping well I might try a change in ammo.
