No, not the usual "walking up the target" problem. I've got a 1978 #1-A in 30-06 I've been messing with. Having some issues with random flyers. Shot with the forend off, shot better so then opened up the forend to free float the barrel. Started shooting better (3 shot groups), but then.....random flyers (4-5" low at 100 yds). Swapped scopes. Then chonographed one particular load. See below. The low flyers are about 100 fps slower than the other rounds. Pretty sure 100 fps would'nt cause this much drop, so is there something else going on with some of these slower loads that's also contributing? Ignition problems? These were 150 grain Hornady FMJ, but I've had similar results with 170 and 200 grain bullets.
Thought it may be my handloads, so shot some 150 grain factory loads. Shot 4, 5 shot groups, pretty "circular", 2.5-4" groups.
Any thoughts?
Thanks.
