This issue might be best somewhere else, but I can't figure out where else it really fits. Its a tech issue, but....
Saturday I was marking a target in the pits at 300 yards, when one of the shooters was having obvious difficulty getting on target, giving us dirt showers, then being 10 feet over the target. He finally got on paper, and this is what they looked like.

This was a 300 WinMag, shooting 180 grain projectiles. Factory Ammo, soft tip rounds.
They sounded strange, not the sharp crack you would expect from a 300 WinMag at 300yards, but more of a "buzz"
Rifle was new, with 50 rounds down the pipe. He was trying to get a zero for hunting, and decided to shoot a small competition at the same time.
Ideas?

You seek escape from pain. We seek the achievement of happiness. You exist for the sake of avoiding punishment. We exist for the sake of earning rewards. Threats will not make us function; fear is not our incentive. It is not death that we wish to avoid, but life that we wish to live. - John Galt
