[QUOTE="Buffalobob, post: 86330, member: 8"] Matt I spent hours and hours searching this forum, 6mmBR, BR and another looking for the cures for horizontal grouping. There was someone who posted the same question about a month ago and all they got was advice on vertical grouping and comments about reading the wind. About 5 months ago I bought my first front rest and rear rabbit ear bag. The groups suddenly went horizontal for the little light 17 Rem except for an occasional low one. I switched to a hotter primer and cured the occasional low one so that my groups are just like yours. Totally no vertical dispersion but wider than the Mississippi River!!! Conventional measurement said my groups went from 0.5 MOA to 1.0+MOA but it was all horizontal. That was when I began the search of the internet. All I found was one passing comment by Speedy Gonzales on “alignment of the rear bag”. I checked and sure enough I never ever get mine lined up correctly. But I do not believe that can account for a full inch of horizontal at 100 yds. [/QUOTE]
