Rifle Tikka t3 lite.308
Ammo: Hornlady critical 165 gr
Scope: Nikon prostaff 3-9*40 dnz 1 piece mount
Hey guys, I'm confused as to the accuracy of my rifle. First off I've shot 25 RD so far. I sighted it in fine but after that my groups get larger and larger. My first shot is always dead on but my 2-3 shots are off by 3" 1 to the left the other to the right. I figured it was user error so I cleaned and shot 3 shots again. 1st shot dead on, 2nd 6 inches to the right low 3 inches, 3rd shot to the left.
What am I doing wrong? I'm using a metal rest and a towel to absorb the recoil. Is the barrel too hot? Could it be fouling? The gun doesn't like my ammo?
Thanks
