Hi
I've been having very "weird" issues with my Steyr in 6.5x55. Been struggling like crazy to get the rifle to group, even though I have been able to shoot 5 shots through almost the same hole with this rifle before. Then I ran out of the specific batch of powder I used, and my troubles started...
Apart from the grouping, what I've noticed is that I will arrive at the range, shoot the first shot, and it will be almost 6 MOA low on the target. Continue to shoot a further 4 shots - all 6 MOA low. Then I adjust the scope 16 clicks up, and continue to shoot - all my subsequent shots are now where I am - even though the groupings are still poor.
Pack up my rifle, go home, reload some new loads, get back to the range the next weekend, and the patterns starts again - first shot 6 MOA low - scope is still on the same markings as I left it.
Is this an issue with the Scope, or is there something else amiss?
