There must be some other reason for a change in zero, and as you say shooting position is always enough when you're operating down at sub-MOA.

Not sure myself to be fair. I agree and on reflection it would have to be a major cant.
Just one of those things. All shots felt ok. I called them all as good. Wind was very slight and coming down range into my face and pretty consistent.

I realigned for each mark. Maybe I didn't do that well enough. I will try shooting it again but not from a bench.

Oh I bet that one flyer buggs the shit out of your OCD....what do you think may be the cause?
Still very nice BTW

Looks like they're all fliers?

How so?

Flippant comment. I am curious as to why the groups are not centred, where's the aiming point?

VC : the low right ones (B &D) are due to the monkey behind the rifle. E not 100% sure, probably wind - did not correct for wind age during the strings, mainly interested in elevation.

MSL : aim point was the central dot, groups not centered as this was for load dev, not zeroing. I'll zero the rifle once I've settled on a particular load.

Makes sense

@ebf are there 5 shots in that group on C?

wsm junkie : Yes, 5 into each letter

andy : correct, FTR rig

No reason at all why you cant head shoot sandflies with that set up,very nice.

Back in the late 80s early 90s I had an issue PH with a ZF84 Khales fixed 6x (post and hair reticle) a TX 1200 barrel that had a bit of use. (It failed the erosion gauge test) Armourers wanted to rebarrel it but it was always on exercise or away from camp when they came looking for it.


Anyway, that old thing would shoot groups like A all day long and the majority were like C with issue F4 ball ammo.

Don't know what happened to it once the AW come in.

How much more mucking around to get it where you want it ebf?
What type and weight projectile?

guessing 155gr?
Good shooting

Pretty much happy to call it quits with that sheet Dave. Just shoot over multiple days in different temp ranges to confirm consistency.

PM'ed you the projectile details.

You should have buried the PH & TX 1200 still see one of those come up on TM every now and then.
