Now I know you don’t drink Mike so what happened? I thought that Diana shot better then that but it’s a really good starting point. Are the FTT’s it’s preferred pellet? It looks to me and I’m certainly no expert but your poa or poi shifted a couple of times.

Gary,
No sir, that isn't one of my 430's. That is a 460 I have not shot in quite some time. It was loaned out. That is about as good as that one does with that pellet unless I size them.
Zero was wandering when I got it back so I field stripped it, checked, tightened and lock tighter the screws. Then I replaced the SWFA 10x with the old Leapers.
It is shooting at about 18 fpe. I think the apparent wander was due to different wind directions and spin drift but I am going to shoot that target again before I roll a batch of pellets and run the test.
Should have all that data maybe tomorrow.

On my death bed given the opportunity I believe I'll order a double shot of George Dickel neat until then better men will have to enjoy that for me.

Mike sorry for the confusion, it’s difficult to keep up with what you guys own over there. Sooooooo many rifles and pistols, lucky buggers. Good luck with the testing of your 460. I’m looking forward to the outcome.

Looks like the dime will cover all groups so that’s pretty damn good! Tough to shoot in a swirling wind, my yard is notorious for it.

Just came in from the bench. Turns out that UTG was wandering around about (+/-)2/10 of a mil. I put the SWFA back on it and rezeroed then shot this.

Well I took that 460 to the indoor range today. The zero was still drifting. I finally put it back on the chronograph. It was shooting 230 feet below spec...
Did I mention I had loaned it out to a fellow in Richmond? Second rifle I have loaned him which came back with a problem. First go round I did not mention it to him. It was missing the grub screw whick keeps the parallax ring in place. SWFA was kind enough to send me a replacement screw.
This time I am going to ask John to look for signs it was dieseled. It he says it was It's on my friend and if he asks to borrow another rifle, he is getting the bill.. If John says no then it's on me. Either way no more loaners. I've learned that lesson.
I won't be delivering on that test for a while.

Sorry to hear that, mates, there are good ones and there are others. If it is from dieseling I hope he pays up for you.

Meh my bad. I won't say anything even if it was being dieseled unless he asks for another loaner.
It all good mate. Just a lesson learned. I knew better.
