Ok I have searched and found a fair number of threads with folks seeking help sighting in their smokepoles. Perhaps I am missing it or there is a ML specific way to skin the cat that I am not aware of for sighting in. Here is the method that I use and have used successfully on both my rimfire and centerfire rifles.
1) Once scope is mounted and bore sighted, I take my Lead Sled out to the outdoor bench and set up a paper target at 25yds.
2) I fire a round to find my point of impact POI.
3) without moving the rifle or the rest adjust the scope so that the crosshairs are dead on the POI, thereby matching POA with POI.
4) fire another round to confirm that POA and POI are sync'd up
5) then begin to work either windage or elevation, or both, to move your POI/POA from wherever it is on paper to the center bullseye. Again ideally you haven't moved the rifle or the rest at all.
The problem that I am encountering is that I have to move the ML constantly to clean and reload making it difficult to get POI and POA on the same sheet of music. Because everyone else seems to be getting theirs sighted in and are able to shot MOA groups out to infinity, I must be doing this all incorrectly and I would appreciate some advice. Thanks,
