the old pleasant point range table is still alive after all these years I see LOL. definately hold that forend........sitting on a towel will do you no favours,maybe get away with it if you using a bi-pod and good repeatable technique... without a good hold of forend it can bounce around,if you were doing this with floppy cock bedding beforehand,20cm group is definately believable....I helped another young chap to tighten his groups up by a HUGE amount just by getting him to do that simple thing.....once upon a time EVERYBODY held a rifle in two hands...now-----not so much.

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.
