It took me years (and I sold some rifles I thought wouldn't shoot but were in fact "hold sensitive) to get consistent with 22s off the bench/bipod.
Consistency of hold (and there are several styles of hold, they all work as you have found with your hand on top) and particularly "natural point of aim" were key for me in getting from "around 0.5" groups to under 0.3s on demand.
To stay around or under the magic 0.5" mark you also need top notch ammo, even $20 a box target ammo can have a "surprise" in every box.
