I think he means there is a constant wind but it has gusts vs no wind then a sudden gust of wind.

92 hammer hunter. 41 gr h4895. Have tried Barnes and several jacketed bullets. Even changed scope. Currently leupold vx2. 3x9What's the load that you're shooting through it?
I'll refer to the Hammer guys. But I'd say you could see some improvement with their help. I would suggest you clean the bore of all copper fouling when switching to and from a mono bullet. That alone can help your accuracy. I think you would be fine out to 300 yards with your current accuracy.92 hammer hunter. 41 gr h4895. Have tried Barnes and several jacketed bullets.

The hammer is the best so far. .0050 jump
My Ruger 77 Hawkeye in 257 roberts shot 1 MOA right outta the box. Nothing done to it. So then just for fun, I put a Timney trigger on it, floated the barrel, pillar bedded it, and glass bedded it. I've shot more half inch groups with it with multiple bullets than I can remember. Perhaps I just got lucky.My nicest gun is a older tikka in 280 rem. Bolt is like silk. Adjustable nice trigger. Shoots really well
My 6 mm rem and custom 280 ai are both Ruger 77 are really great shooters. Just not as nice as the tikka. My 77/22 is perfect
Just the model 77 in roberts is really bad
If you are shooting inside 100 yards, figure out how to tighten the groups because there is a problem somewhere with either your shooting. the ammo, or the riifle.I have a light weight Ruger that only shoots 1 to 1 1/2 two shot groups. How far can I shoot deer or hogs and still make ethical hits
Make sure the front angle screw is torqued to 90 inch pounds. I know it seems like a lot, but that is factory spec, and believe me, it makes a difference. On 2 of my Ruger 77's, it made a big difference. On my other 3 77's, it still made a difference, just not quite as obvious.Has been bedded and trigger work. And using hammer bullets. Hammers seemed to to help. It used to be over 2 inch at a hundred and now better
Took her out this weekend. Lung/heart shot a 185 pound black tail buck at 168 yards. Worked perfect
