Leave the can mounted up next time and see if the zero shifts . Also you want to catch the same thread on the muzzle adaptor every time so it indexes in the same spot every time .

I'll go through it tomorrow... I think I have enough "Red" loctite in the tool box
The can indexes the same spot every time... I think that's the way it was designed. It just bothers me that I have to always worry about rezoreing the rifle every time I pull off the can... what a pain...

If you ain't sleepin' with it, how do you know someone is not "adjusting" it for you...just sayin' you might be chasing a bad joke on you...
I have a fat wrench that you can accurately torque everything down with if you want to use it.

My Feedback
Have you considered the powder you're using, in relation to temp shifts? What works great @ 85* might not ~ 10-15*
OR
What you think is your reticule, is actually one loose strand of hair. jest sayin.

Yep... you're definitely not on the "who touched it" list
Does it make a clicking... or cracking sound when you get the desired torque?
Powder is fine... I keep the rounds in my portable ice chest along with my drinks..
Humidity doesn't help with the reticle issue though![]()

My zero used to wander all over. I'd shoot down at the OTC and fire a nice tight 5 shot group. I'd reload the mag and shoot another nice tight 5 shot group. The only problem was it would be an MOA or more away from the first one. That went on for months. Once I got the position thing down, it never changed. It took a long time to get there, but my zero is now dead solid.
Inconsistent can mounting could certainly be the culprit. Shoot it, remove the can and reattach. Shoot again. That should tell you.
Seriously, you need to get a .22 trainer. They weigh 1/3 as much and the bullet is in the barrel for three times as long. They are magnifying glasses for problems. They're also a lot of fun to shoot. An accurate trainer and 2,000 rounds of match ammo will teach you lots. Plus, you'll get to shoot the .22 side matches in Pueblo.

2 or 3 tenths moving around and I'd say shooter error but a whole mil is a lot something has got to be moving .
