doc540 Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 obligatory flyer...why am I doing this on a regular basis when shooting a 4-5 shot group? IMR3031 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin c Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 First round hand chambered from a magazine, or are you using a bolt gun (sorry, don't know my rifles)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Youngeyes Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Which shot in the string is the flyer? Are you spacing out the shots? Could be some harmonics set up by the last shot. Could be cold barrel vs hot. Could just be a Murphy flyer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dauntedfuture Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 I would suggest that you shoot a 10 round group and see if thats a "flyer" or just part of the larger group. It could be wind. My money would be on "shoot more and its part of the group..." Statistically speaking 3 rounds give you very very little, 5 rds gives you a little, 10 rds starts to tell the real story.

Dan Sierpina Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Is that a 4 or 5 shot group? What are you using for a rest and rear bag? You could be pushing the gun one way or the other, or not letting it recoil in a straight line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warpspeed Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Try a CBS ( cold bore shot ) on an adjacent target then shoot 10 for group. Try and document the shots in order if you have a spotting scope. It may help figure out things. And why 50gr sp ? I'd try the Hornady A-Max or the SMK in 52gr. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doc540 Posted April 5, 2013 Author Share Posted April 5, 2013 Thanks...I'll try those things. Why 50gr SP's? Cause they were available at 2am and cheap. Kind of like the last girl to dance at closing time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goat68 Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 (edited) Are you loading this for 3 gun or for something else? I would call that good for 3 gun and probably even bolt gun as my eyes suck and I wouldn't be able to out shoot the load or the gun.

JACKIE40X40 Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 A fresh cleaned barrel will sometimes give you a flyer, But usually by the fifth shot its ok. I always take five sighters shots before I go too the line. Just a suggestion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
