I m shooting a Howa 204 caliber. When I shoot a 3 shot grp of the bench 2 holes wii be touching at poi and the 3rd always 3/4 to 1 inch out from the other two. It does this with both factory and handloads. Any suggestions. However, overall the grp stays at an inch and half.
 
Moving from General to Competition Shooting.

Ski, if for some reason this doesn't get adequate response here, PM me and wwe'll move it to Rifles.
 
It sounds like the barrel might be heating up and moving.

Do you know if the flyer shot is always the THIRD shot of the string?
 
Mike is probably on track to the problem. How long are you waiting between shots?

Some guns like a barrel that is completely free floating forward of the action. Some like a light touch at the front end of the stock.
 
More details on the gun please.

Is it in a free floated stock?

to repeat the other guy, Is that the first or the third shot?

How long are you waiting between shots?
 
That's another reason a score/data book is necessary.

Is it always the third bullet? Is it still the third bullet when you shoot a five shot group? When did it start? Do you single load?

Sometimes we seem to want to blame the gun instead of taking the blame ourselves.
