The flyer god always gets one

Yeap would have shot one of the best groups in a long time yesterday but the flyer god always demands a sacrifice it seems o_O pulled the dog mess out the first shot and the rest went in pretty and nice for my abilities gotta say probably didn't help that after the third string out of five my dang should was killing me. Idk what it is about shooting off a bench but I never get so sore from prone, but when the grass is too high and the public range is built weird....

Yep, we just have to rub that one out and re-shoot it.

Some just slip a dime over it and call it good
 
This is EXACTLY why I only count the best four out of every five shots I shoot in a group. AND with my lazy reloading habits, and abysmal brass organization, it works out pretty well. I'm almost at the point that if all five go into the group, it kind of troubles me. ;) jd
 
If you are shooting groups with that bayonet strapped to the barrel, I would expect worse actually. I realize you’re mostly collecting load data, but there’s nothing gained by reading groups with that on there IMO.
So I gotta say I've been told that and honestly I have really seen that issue, I just haven't. I'll group test then zero with the Magento on them so a dot drill and groups are about the same impact about the same. I know it messes with some people bad apparently but I just haven't had that problem

I thought that was a barrel tuner.....

Damn thing always gets me
 
Load for group, with out the magneto attached, once you have it where you want it put the “bayonet” on it if you need to know FPS/SD

That's more than out of the group. Does it happen without the MagnetoSpeed attached? Have someone load the rifle without knowning if it's a loaded round or a fired case. Then you will know if your flinching. I get apprehensive pulling the trigger, it feels like it has a 20 lb. trigger pull. A few years ago I had several primers that didn't fire and I found out I don't flinch. When the gun goes off can you see the cross hairs move across the target. Sling and jacket shooters all say you need to spend many hours dry firing. I never did it. I don't think bench shooters dry fire?
 
Looks like you're doing good! If I'm shooting with a bipod and rear squeeze bag I'll shoot four shots for a three shot group.

So same load as the one from yesterday. These where off of the front rest and rear bag though

So with the magneto and first string of the day

And second group, last group of the day without the magneto

Not gonna lie was lower light and I was kinda just trying to make sure the gun was semi back on the bull before leaving

when I've used the Magnetospeed I noticed that it can change the group size. Having the Manetospeed can make the group larger, smaller or the same. So when I'm trying to find the best powder charge weight or best seating depth, I'll shoot groups without the Magnetospeed attached.
