Thread: rifle change / load/ no bumps etc

Have you checked the action screws ? My first thought was scope rings but your check seems to rule that out.

You missed mate... more practice!

Seriously though what was wind doing, both when zeroing and when shooting at deer? Do you know where your miss landed?

Can be a bunch of factors at play that add up to quite a margin.

wind was sub 5kmph both times! and the other week out further when i hit 2 deer first shots was perfect. i dont often miss below 600m.

You sure those deer weren't on to you and had their force shield up and running before you got a shot away?

the most likely suspect of the misses!

Got your wind call wrong/switched up? (would have to have been pretty windy to miss though)
Barrel touching the shooting rest? Suppressor tight?

next to no wind! so my windage was set to zero. was off a bipod, and the suppressor was tight as a mofo. Checked action screws, they are to spec, checked scope rings and cross bolts, they are to spec, suppressor was tight, rounds were double checked for bumpage etc. im stumped... unless when i did dial some windage shots at 760, I went the wrong way... but then the following weekend at deer around 400, it shouldnt of hit them either. so im stumped! maybe a tracking test on the scope.

Do you remove the suppressor when you store the rifle ?

yes sir! 100%

Another one of those crap NF's (supposedly no)shit itself haha

So you've got one load only? Pull a round apart from the same packet and double check the powder weight maybe?

Were you shooting up or down angles? Either cause high shots.

New tub of powder? Different powder batch could make a difference.

Other than that only 2 options, a gear issue most likely scope related or human eror (it happens).
