Excessive bullet drop

[danr55]

Use a colimator and zero the scope. Remove the colimator and shake the rifle. Re-install and see if the rifle held zero. Sounds like the veritcal gimble on the scope may have an issue.

Here's a curious factor ppl don't always ask about:
Are you shooting uphill? Downhill? Or relatively flat?
Other than that idk maybe a diff twist rate would serve better for that range? As the bullet flies thru the air doing its spiral pattern 300yrds might just be in its low area of its serial. Would be interesting to see where it's shooting at 400 or 500yards if your consistant enough to get a bearing. Cross Windage downrange could be throwing u off too but not realize it if your a ways away from a draft not necessarily hitting you.

Just trying to get the creative problem solving juices flowing..

He sold the gun and bought a creedmore in a different thread he complained about it being a half in low at 100 yards and dead on at 1256 yards guns is like a laser I guess

You would need to raise the front end of the scope. The theory is that the back end is higher than the front causing to to point slightly downward. Just a tiny fraction of an inch could cause a big different at decent yardage.

I hope you don't have this problem which you will never resolve, by raising the back you are elevating the barrel which gives a higher point of impact.
The point of shooting longer distance is to validate your point of impact, say 100 then 200 and so on.
But the man says he doesn't shoot over 200 so no problem, fixed it for ya.
