I had a set back with mine a few days ago. Barrel freshly cleaned with Ballistol and some tins of 25g MRD's and Center Punch, which have both been consistent up to this point. I wanted to try something besides splatter targets so I printed some out from AGN for fun and started shooting away at the usual 40yds. I use a bipod and rear bag and am usually capable of applying the basic fundamentals to some degree of success. The previous day's groups were between dime and nickel sized, see the splatter target pic. This day was.... what the hell? (see 10m target pic) I'm wondering if it's the scope now after thinking about it. It's a used Helix 6-24 FFP. I increased zoom from 12x to around 18x for the 10m targets. Nothing else was changed between the 2 days outside of cleaning the barrel.
I got so frustrated I grabbed the little Uragan 3 compact and shot the same targets at the same distance with CPHP's and ended up with twice as many hits in the 9-10 rings! I forgot to take a picture, unfortunately.
What do you guys think?
