Is that 338 a single shot?

lol

 

[kholmes]

no it is not single shot

This sounds like it could be caused by gyroscopic drift, also known as spin drift. If so, perhaps the easy solution is to sight in for about 1 moa to the left at close range?

Is that what spin drift is ?

Op fixed his prob all ready.

I don't shoot a ton of .338 but 9" @ 700 is pretty extream.

FWIW JBMOnline has a spindrift calculator.

With no wind the spin drift would be 2.5 inches at 700 yards.

wind drift

This could be your answer...

Spin drift I always find an interesting topic. The one thing about spin drift is I find I never get to shoot in 0km wind. I do not have a dope chart with it but I do know it's there.

I figure fps + twist + bullet type have the differences and this makes me wonder.

Would the perfect combo eliminate spin drift?
