I shot my Savage 93R17-F this past weekend and I was shocked with my grouping. I fired my CCI first because I know it shoots great in my gun. So I started at 50 yards and I can put all my shots of a 5 shot group within a nickel about 3/4" high but right on center horizontally. I was very pleased so the next day we decided to move out to 150 yards which I thought my gun would be right on. I decided to shoot some different ammo I had. I had with me Federal and Remington and the CCI. I fired 10 shots of each and wasn't to upset with the groups. The Remington was the worst with about 3" groups high and to the right. Then I shot the CCI and the group was good except for 2 shots. The main 8 were within 1 1/4" but the 2 fliers made it out to about 2" and they were high and to the left. Then I tried the Federal which to my surprise was all around the nail in the center of the plate. I had shot a 1 1/2" group with no fliers.
I was shocked. I don't understand. I know I am not a steady shooter, but I thought that were I had the CCI sighted in at 50 yards would be a low at 150 yards. Not high and to the left. DERN IT. What did I do wrong? Has anyone else had an experience like this? I need to know what I did to mess myself up so I can try to stop it.
