I bought a new scope and through the process of sighting it in, I think I may have discovered a problem from the past. As I dialed the scope in I would find the hits close and then scattered.
I was just about ready to send the new scope back when I started trying to identify the source of the problem. In the last block of shooting I noted that the shells I that were kicked out of my BAR would be together and then separated by a few feet.
I had been shooting shells that I loaded a number of years ago with a RCBS scale. I replaced it when it became erratic. I fired a string of recently reloaded shells using my electronic scale. All of a sudden the cases hit the ground together and the bullet holes touched each other.
The challenge now will be to figure out which cartridges are left that are not quite up to snuff. At least the crappy shooting isn't me, the rifle or the scope.
