So last week I took my tikka out to 600yd and fired 10 shots. I did not touch the elevation or windage after the initial correction. And this is what happened. Disregard holes that are marked.
Shot one, two and three are off the paper and then it goes up and left, I was shooting at the white center with orange circle. I dialed up 18 moa and then shot my ten rounds, I’ve noticed this gun likes to settle in after the barrel is hot. Anybody got an idea of what might be going on? I’ll shoot 20 rounds late when the wind dies down to see if it does the same thing. I have noticed slight changes at 100yd with cold bore vs hot bore shift.
The odd shaped hole is from the bullet hitting the metal rod I had help hold up the target, and the one at the bottom corner is from a tack I had hold the paper.
