Limit your groups to 3 shots, you will be fine

Here is the info. 6br .272 nk. 1/8 tw. 108 berger bt. br4 primer. Lapua brass. jam 5 thou. 300 yds. 29.5 gr RL-15. Set up on solid front rest. 5 shot each target. Anybody have a clue about the one flyer on each target?

I have been shooting at 300 in a mixed calibre environment. A lot of fun over 5 targets and for an added hoot no wind flags except maybe 2 or 3 range flags at the side for 100 200 300. Mirage could easily distort your aim point and that is just one thing you have to accommodate under any circumstance. Try picking the most repeatable mirage condition that presents and always re aim to that. If there are flags, same thing. Even at 100 I have seen mirage that looked like a desert disaster and fellow competitors groups who did different suffered a similar fate. Good luck! (p.s I always liked 105Bgrs 30.1-30.3 of RL15 in mine, if you can chrono it gives you some extra info for your notebook)

Wind wasn't hardly blowing, and not enough to cause shot that far off. I'm thinking it was shooter error. Thanks for your reply.

I have always found that if the 5th shot flies out, it was me getting excited behind the gun. If the flier is in the middle of the string, then it was a wind call or ammo issue.

"No wind" is the worst. The smallest of gusts can suddenly move things a lot, ruining a great group. I always shoot tighter when the wind is blowing steady; I have a way easier time telling a slight change to a 5mph wind vs feeling out if a slight gust is coming in a calm condition.

Thanks for the reply. Good food for thought.

Thanks for the reply. As much as i thought it wasn't me... maybe it was.
Going to load 10 more of same & try with flags. Running out of 108's.

Was going to say you'd find the answer in the mirror but I see you got it.
One hot tip; Never ever run out of your first choice of bullets. Second choice is second for a reason.
Plan ahead. Stockpile. You will regret it if you do not. 'Sperience.
