    First you have to see if your rifle shoots, and if you can shoot. Do that either prone or off a bench cos thats the most stable position. Then once you have your rifle sighted, and ammo sorted, and you've sent a good number of shots down range at 100 - 250, then start practising at positional such as standing. Any shots taken standing or kneeling are gonna be a lot closer than what you've sighted in your rifle for so a little variance because of your position aint gonna matter much.

    the norma ammo showed a nice little group for the 3 you fired right handed, and about right elevation etc. The 2 you shot left handed dont count cos you changed your position.
