This weekend I was working with a shooter who was struggling with his rifle. Scope was canted and just couldn't seem to get a good zero. We remounted the scope and I put him on sandbags to get a good zero. We made some adjustments but I was still seeing splatter on the target. I started to suspect equipment malfunction or ammunition issues. He asked me to shoot his rifle. We put up a fresh target and I brought 2 mags to the line - 5 rounds of the ammo he brought; 5 rounds of some borrowed ammo.
I tell people all the time - fix the shooter first, the ammo 2nd and then work on equipment. Most people get it backwards. They spend a ridiculous amount of money on high end gear; buy the cheapest ammunition they can find and refuse to take a class because they 'already know how to shoot'.
