If the rounds aren't grouping, no amount of turret spinning will fix the problem. I cannot tell you how many times i have seen novice shooters chasing bullet holes at the range (shoot 1 round, dope change, shoot 1 round, another dope change, shoot another round, another dope change...) because they were zeroing, pulled a shot, and doped for the pulled shot, not the good shot. What i do is fire one shot, make sure i am on paper, then fire 2 more, same point of aim. If they group, take the center of the group and adjust on that center. If one or more was a pulled shot, you'll know when you squeeze, throw that one out, and shoot another to replace it. I highly discourage the "1 shot and adjust" method unless you are quite certain of the quality of the shot. I ain't that good , I group before i adjust. And forget inches, in the real world nothing has 1-inch grip squares superimposed. If you need a grid, you're doing it wrong. |
Sorry for the other post lol...
So if I was using a laser boresight - and forgive me for my newbness - but couldnt I just turn my scope to match the laser and not fire any shots at all? Might be an obvious yes answer but I just want to be sure I'm sighting correctly in that process...
