Greetings and Salutations:

I just came from the range and the above target is the result of shooting my double off the bench at a range of 100 m. The bullets printed high because I was using the wrong sight picture when lining up the front and rear sight, (silly me. It's my first double and I still have things to learn).

My question is, will the bullets change point of impact when the rifle is shot off-hand?

The double was regulated using a 16.7 gram, (256 grains) H Mantel bullet traveling 2460 feet per second. The bullet used for the target was a Nosler 250 grain Ballistic tip at approximately 2450 feet per second. The load was 56.5 grains of IMR 4064 with a Winchester Large Rifle primer. A light crimp was applied to the bullet in the canalure.

Kindest regards,

Carpediem
