I'm a beginner learning, and trying to understand using my rifle.
Today, I took my Rem 783 30-06 and started my practice at 50 yds. The goal this weekend is to ensure I zeroed properly at 100 yds. and then to explore and test my hand at 200 yds. So I think this is nothing out of the ordinary.
I found myself, at 50, getting a nice small group off the bench. all within an inch. I was able to see the result of my breathing (note to self). I was using Factory ammo-Winchester 150 gr.
I ran out of the 150's and found I had only 180 gr. remaining. Upon it's usage I found my shots, all and consistently, 4 inches to the right. The group opened up slightly.
I realize the shift in POI is the weight change. I would have thought the shhift would be vertical. Is the shift to the right due to 'Harmonics' being a 2 dimensional (rotational) motion and not simply 1 dimension on the vertical plane as I might have originally (incorrectly)thought?
