Strange Day at the Range
« on: May 09, 2009, 05:12:21 PM »
I was shooting my Model 10 in .308 today and something weird occured.
A little history first...I replaced the factory plastic stock with one from Bell and Carlson, it has a one-piece scope mount and heavy-duty rings topped off with a Nikon Buckmaster 6x18 mildot scope. With 45 grains of Varget behind a 168 Sierra Matchking bullet, this set-up is placing 3 shots into one ragged hole at 100 yards.
When I was shooting it today, 3 shots went into one hole. I then loaded 3 more rounds into the magazine and took aim on the same spot. However, the point of impact shifted about 2 to 3 inches to the right on the next shot. The next two shots were in the exact same spot using the original aiming point, making a ragged hole again.
Has anyone ever experienced anything like this before?

 if you are saying you have 2 different ragged holes..

Prolly ricochet off a very fast moving Pa. Mt. Lion that was recently stocked by the Pa. Game Commission in your area. Even if your not living in Pa. Hey......these things happen.

Could have been a bunch of things. Maybe your brass neck tension was not what it should have been....maybe your bullet wasn't seated nice 'n straight in the case.....But I'm goin with the fast mt lion thing.
