.30-06 Savage, ate up two boxes of ammo doing it...thought I was going to do a one shot zero @ 100 yds (bought a Leupold magnazero) & the bullet went way over right...so, I moved to 25yds & did a barrel zero, & sure enough my rifle was off...I get it back on, & shoot a good group at 25yds, & move to 100 yards, & look at my scope, as it was high, but alligned center. The Scope moved forward! ARGH!:mad:
I continued to shoot, after adjusting my scope down, & got it near center as I could, considering my scope moved. (heck I just wanted to fire up some ammo)...
& after the first box I notice a coupla things...one, target panic. I've got it...I'd sit there, & flinch, anticipating the shot, & would have to back off, take a breather, concentrate, & breath, relax, aim & squeeze off a round...
Another thing I noticed...boy does my shoulder HURT! My aught six KICKS like a MULE! I was only using 150 grain bullets, & I don't know how you guys can shoot with .300 win mags+...I need to get a limbsaver shoulder cushion...(could be the fact that I was squeezing the butt of the rifle into my shoulder to hold the scope & rifle steady, much like the M16 BRM I went through years ago)
