Ammunition
Sighting in your rifle
- Always shoot from a stable platform
- Start with an adequate supply of the same ammunition brand and bullet weight
- Tighten scope-mounting and stock bedding screws before you shoot
- Wear eye and ear protection (required on most rifle ranges)
- Clean the bore, then shoot a couple of rounds, before settling down to sight-in
- Know when to stop. When fatigue and/or frustration take over, you are wasting ammunition. Stop and come back another day
