I have a Kimber 45 ACP (which I sometimes erroneously describe as APC which I then correct as I know it means Aspirin,Phenacetin and Caffeine).
No matter what I do- trigger hold, absolute bench rest stability, bullet style, powder type and charges - it hits the target 1-2" to the left at 15 yards.
I have concluded it's not me. I can shoot a 3/4 group with 5 shots out of my 9mm, and a real screamer (for me) is all shots touching each other on the bull with my Freedom Arms .454 using a Colt .45 load.
So I go to my LGS (Local Gun Shop). He tells me my sight can be moved because it has a screw holding it in place. but I'm not the guy who is likely to accomplish that. He can do it, but only if I pay for the loads he uses and the time he expends at the indoor range at $15/hr, and whatever time at the range I spend corroborating his result. I have not engaged his service thus far because I think my reloads need to be the cartridge to establish the POI, and I need to do it because I am the shooter of the gun. He can just move the sight.
Checking the internet, which is a rather typical response, supports his position that I am not likely able to do it. Without buying a tool specifically used for that purpose, which is not inexpensive.
So here I am - asking for advice from those of you who I can count on to be much more knowledgeable about this problem than am I.
