some 44-77 questions

This may be simplistic solution for verticals. This past Sunday I experienced similar situation with my 12# 40-65 Pedi Sharps. We were shooting 100-400 hanging gongs silhouettes. At the 400 yd mark my spotter missed a few impacts due to smoke in his eyes ;-) To the point shots were in error Over and Under the Rams. This was frustrating as 1 MOA changes in elevation just seemed to exasperate the condition. I was using Don's perfect load of 60 gr OE and 422 gr GG. However as clean as it was shooting all day it did require passing a lightly moist patch down bore between shots. I'm partly convinced having to flatten the rear sight stem for cleaning and then push it to vertical may have claimed a few errors. I caught sight picture being fuzzy once and it was due to sight aperture and stem not being centered in sight stem notch. To add to predicament all the impacts that did score on Ram were center / center in tight group. Weather was prefect just those Rams had springs under their hoofs like Mule Deer ;-)
