Do you use your hand loads to get on paper?

[QUOTE="QuietTexan, post: 2107090, member: 116181"] Are people really missing the target completely when sighting in? To me that means your scope is installed very incorrectly because that's a lot of misalignment - as is a significant part of your windage adjustment range lost trying to correct something in the rings or base. If you bore-sight at all you shouldn't be more than a couple inches off at 50 yards, definitely on the paper. I'll admit I cheat a bit and use a big 2x4' piece of cardboard to make sure I don't miss any... but I don't miss any. I use handloads to sight-in because I chrony every round, so it's more data points to increase sample size. I should be able to get a decent SD regardless of where they hit on the paper. [/QUOTE]
