For those that arent familiar its a modern. It uses MIR 4227 smokeless as one of its recomended propelants.
Im using a bushnell banner ontop of it.
Im loading it with TC 250gr shockwave's in super glide sabbots.
Im using a empty 220swift brass cartridge for my measure, (im filling it to the top a leveling it off) down the muzzle it goes.
Im shooting off a table with the front of the gun on a bi-pod and the rear on a blanket (i substitute for a sandbag)
My problem: Im trying to zero this gun at 100 yards, I know its capable of 300Yrds and most experts would zero it at 200yrd. 100Yrds easily takes care of my hunting needs.
It seems everytime i get close to zero (or within 1.5-2.0 inches of zero) i start throwing rounds.. some as far off as 6-8 inches.. I know there is shooter error but im not that bad.. esp when focused.
Most shots are within 4 inches of zero but that to me is not acceptable..
Scope went to factory last year to make sure its in spec.. it is.
I can take 3-4-5 shots and even cut the same hole at 100Yrd's but the i get those "zingers" that are so far out there that i scratch my head I can hit a bullseye at 100yrds and the next shot be 8-10 inches off the mark..
Ive tried swabbing after every shot even though its not needed with this weapon (its not black powder)
The only thing i can think of at this point is im not using high pressure black sabbots (magnum sabbots).. but im still fairly accurate or even same hole cut accurate without them (depending)..
Any muzzle-loading hunters got a tip for me ? with over $1,000 in this rig i hate moving on.. and i dont want to go back to the cloud..
Much thanks..
p.s. yes everythings tight.. im sure this is a ammo/sabbot/propellant issue.. but im not ruling out anything
