Last evening I missed a large boar at 90 yards. It’s a shot I’ve made 5 times in the last few weeks taking pigs. What is different, is I switch ammo and used my Obsidian 45 suppressor. I had a good zero from my last range session earlier in the week. Today I tested my zero and what I got was a first shot 4 inches low. Shots 2, 3 and 4 were a tad high with each successive shot climbing a little bit. On my second target and corrected down one MOA and it grouped ok. First target is a MR63 Repair Center and the second is a NRA Smallbore 100yd so X ring sizes are different. (Shots at 100 Yds and minute of pig.)
Equipment:
Diamond Back AR in 300BO, REAP IR 60MM MKII, Ammo Gorilla Subsonic 220g MKs, ObsidIan 45 with a 9mm end cap.
My question is should I have that big a difference in initial POI between first shot and a second one? It is a pistol suppressor but rated for 300BO subsonic. I have a 7.62 Dead Air Nomad waiting but thought I’d try the Obsidian. I wa stood the pistol suppressors are not as accurate as rifle cans but this was an eye opener.
Thanks as always for the feedback.
