What generally causes a group that is acceptable elevation wise (.400" @ 100 yds) mesure 1.300" windage. (5 shot group)
The scope has been checked for tight mounts and rings. Both have been loctited. The scope is a new Bushnell 6x-18x-40mm. Mounted low but not touching the barrel (.010). Rings are lapped.
I've rechecked the pillar screws (action is also bedded). Everything is tight.
The wind was less than 3 mph maybe a gust to 5mph? Chrono has the velocity at 3008. This is a .220 Rocket in a Ruger 7 MkII action. 69 gr Nosler HPBT, 33 gr Varget.
I took of my Redfield 10x when I noticed my turrent was clocking slightly and I would put it back on if I can secure the turrent somehow. Permanent Loctite didnt hold. Maybe I'll try some superglue.
I'm going to shoot a string of 10 in a day or so maybe it was me just getting "hanky".
Normally shoots .3 - .6 MOA. Hard question to nail down.
