Thread: Dumb question about shooting

Alright, this has been a bit of a head scratcher for me.

Have a Bergara B14 18inch in 308, always been comfortable shooting out to 450yd, using the basic Belmont 150gr SP. I have switched ammo to the Sako 150gr SP Gamehead. Also upgraded scope(and had a massive muck around with GC that we won't go in to right now).

Have been able to sight and group sub moa at 100yds, moa at 200yds, and hitting a 12x12" gong at 300yds 4/5 times. But for the life of me(and the cost of ammo) I haven't been able to hit the 400yd gong. I've sent 30 rounds over 2 sittings in good weather and have not been able to. Spotter reckon the we're going all around it.

Having come from using cheap ammo, getting moa to sub moa hits at 400yds, to not being able to find the target once with "excellent ammo", has destroyed my confidence.

Can't get hold of more Belmont due to the shortages, but at this stage I would in a heart beat.

Anyone heard of this stuff tumbling at range?

Any suggestions or insights would be appreciated.
