Zeroing with help from a horse-fly

[dicehorn 38]

Having played about with neck tension on 20 rounds of 6.5 x 55 which were on their 11th firing and with hardly a breeze this morning set a target out at around my zeroed range of 100 yds having done my usual cleaning of the bore. After three shots and whilst taking the fourth shot, what I thought was a fly landed at the side of my mouth and just as I was squeezing the trigger and at the point of no return this fly - a horse fly decided to change my POI by biting me. After recovering managed to put a further two more in to complete a 5 shot group. When I walked to the target the 10mm red bull at 12 oclock was in fact bent back. Anyway excluding the horse fly's attempt this gave a 5 shot group of .287

For those that may be interested - after full sizing, I then ran a bushing from my neck sizing die to cover a 1/4 of the neck surface to bring me back more or less to my custom loads.
