I just got back from my range and I am posting a pic of a couple of groups…
Yesterday this rifle was hitting approximately 2.5” high and dead center horizontally. At 50 yards…
Today it is shooting as shown in the pic. I did fire a few rounds at my silhouettes at 200 yards and certainly did not hit them..
So I fired a couple of rounds at 50 yards and a couple at 100 yards. Impact has changed unbelievable. 2 shots were fired at each range…
Would a barrel that is somewhat leaded cause this much change in impact, yet still allow potentially very acceptable groups?...
The rifle is an Encore with an 26” MGM 30-40 Krag barrel…
Any thoughts?...
Discouraging for sure…
Thanks…BCB
(I notice the pic needs rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise to be as it was oriented during the shooting)
