Re: Spin Drift at 1500 yards
Well I don't know what I have for documentation at present is this:
18.5" Gladius, 800 yards, to Target, on uneven terrain in the mountains, believe me the position is jacked and I had to support my body with my packs to get close to something respectable. you can see them stacked under the rifle to hold it up.
Not seeing a horizon to work off of here...
The three shot group at the top was mine, the one in the center someone else...
So, where is the horizontal dispersion, and do I need to worry about cant considering this is just a 308 in the open with all that goes into it. Factory 175gr stuff.
What is that like 5" with a bit of vertical being my worst offense... this is pretty common for me, use the bolts for reference to the group size.
Another group, again 800 yards, testing a load sent to me by Andrew McCourt for evaluation, 21" rifle
I'm not seeing where the level is gonna improve on that... 1/2MOA all day at distance.
My 300 yard group was pretty nice showing that my focus on the fundamentals and not distracting myself with things I feel are controlled by my position
Same thing more McCourt Load development, grouped at same outing as the other on paper, the first round was to make sure I was on the target I did no zero the gun, I was shooting multiple loads out of the same short rifle.
5-shots 300 yards with the 1st at the top for verification on paper.
Focus on the fundamentals, build your position and actually "look" at the reticle and there is a lot more good than bad that will happen.
Trust me, unless you go to gun quickly after looking at the level, if you even think about fine tuning your position your body will move and go to a natural state, if you keep making "level" your unnatural state, you will adjust it back, and be off. Liked noted above, you see people with level "off" level, So by making my rifle fit me and my natural state, my default is level, and my work downrange shows it. Can I rush and blow a shot, absolutely but that is all about no "pushing a bad shot" and nothing to do with level.
Perfect practice builds a better swing.
