Strange Day Good Day

"Follow through"...think that's what was givin me fits prone yesterday. Need to study up on this for next outing. Told my wife that I was flinching, and no wonder that my first shot was my only good one. Thx

Flinching is the biggest fault for large groups. You can have a MOA load but if you flinch it will be many times larger then what it really is.

When I watch shooters on line that forget to pull the hammer back set the trigger and "CLICK" and I see the barrel all over the place or see his head pop up off the stock. As long as you do this you will never get the full potentials out of the load your testing.
Anticipating recoil is a killer of a good load.

When I started working with my Daughter I disabled 5-6 primers and loaded them so they misfire. This is a great training aid when they get behind the butplate and a random misfire happens, it will let them see exactly what they are doing when they break the shot and they will do their best to correct the thrown shot from pushing into the butplate when they break the shot.
I do this now and then for myself when I work up loads to see if I have fallen into the flinch routine.
