Gotcha! Yeah I see that now! I will eventually find what works it’s just gonna take some time with the components the way they are. I’m just trying to find something to shoot coyotes with and eventually some LR fun.
The gun shoots the Hornady Whitetail 129gr not too bad, but I haven’t been able to find it again.
I for one am not trying to be rude to you, I am trying to help you. This is the thing, with your "groups" all over the place, there is no way to discern any info from them. For whatever reason, your shots are all over the place. Maybe the gun doesn't like that bullet?? I honestly don't think that's the case because the target generly doesn't look like that when the gun doesn't like the bullet. However, it could be that you didn't have your best day AND the gun doesn't like the bullet, or some other combo.
You actually have a few groups, but you don't have several groups from which we can discern any info from. So, it "looks" like the kind of targets that you'd expect to see from someone who doesn't have good fundamentals.
Try a different bullet. First do a pressure test and just see where you hit pressure with a single bullet loaded every .3 or .4 grains. Crono these and get some speed info while doing it.
After you know that, give yourself a grain and a half under where you first started seeing pressure and do a test with 3 rounds per, at .2gr each set.
Get a target that you can KNOW FOR SURE you are aiming at the same place every time. (Depends on your reticle and center dot size ect but this is VERY important for me). Graph paper with green marker works well and you can make the square whatever size you need to so you can hold on it exactly the same spot each time.
Then when you shoot it, shoot 3 rounds before the test starts to warm up you and the barrel.
Make sure your parallax is perfect.
Do a little dry fire excessive while aiming at your target and see if the reticle is moving during your process.
Wait 7 min between every single group you shoot.
Make sure all of your test ammo is the same temp as your environment before you start.
Do not load the round into the chamber until you are ready to shoot it.
Do whatever you have to, so that you take yourself completely out if the equation (bagd, sleds, whatever works for you)
Make sure you pull the trigger each time with the pad of your finger and pull straight back, hold the trigger back each time and only allow it to reset a few seconds after the shoot. (This will help you)
This is about all I can help you with until you have some targets that show some poi consistency
