This time I was shooting my Remington 700 VS .222with j'd bullets you know you try and try using your best reloading methods and use carefully selected components, you double check case lengths, and trim, if necessary, chamfer inside and out don't forget primer seating, things must be just right! weigh the powder charges, etc. , etc. after all this you gather up the goodies and run off to the range , your anticipation is extremely high, why shouldn't it be your ammo is perfectly assembled now at the range you try and slow yourself down, you set up the rests perfect! every thing "feels great" target in sight through the scope no strain on the body excellent !Ok ! time to chamber the first round.. in She goes!!!check sight picture ..pretty darn good NOW finger on the trigger damn!! I can see my heart beating, in goes the breath then release half HOLD.. SQUEEZE .. BANG! DANG THAT FELT GOOD !, a little low and to the right but that's ok we're trying for groups, accuracy will come later, one off and it felt "right', now for#2 get the cheek in the same place , breath squeeze follow through, ANOTHER ONE THAT FELT RIGHT!, check the target still only one hole! we're on a roll ! , #3 gets chambered and the process gets followed once again, AND STILL ONLY ONE HOLE! yup definitely on a roll! Now for #4 , careful don't change anything ..Bang! oops! something went wrong now there's two holes, oh well typical!!, might as well take my time with the last round. That one goes down range and feels right ,like the others.. check the target .. the original hole got a little bigger..OK 5 rounds not a bad group but it definitely has a flier! So the question is does there always have to be a "flier or two, is it me or the gun?
