Thread: Rifle shooting to right query

If your scope is only 2 degrees off plump with bore centre.Scope and rifle bore height 2 inch radius.At zero yards yr true bullet hole will only
be 5.728mm to the opposite side of vertical plump line.At a 200yds of yr bullet holes will be off plump to the opposit side 5.728mm if you are zeroed at a 100yds.If yr scope was 6 degrees off plump you'd see if with one eye shut.At 400 yds you are drifting to the say right 17.81 mm (2 degrees off plump)for a start,I'd be happy a 100mm.
At 400 yds it ony takes a slight breeze to drift 130mm,that includes shooter error,scope aligment,trigger pull,the list goes on.At deer at 400yds is a big target,sholder 10 inch circle broad side.
Get the hundred yards near perfect,I cant but close.
