Interesting you say your hand is in contact with both butt stock & ground BLR...
Im not entirely sure if its a placebo effect or not, but im pretty sure i get better/ more consistant results if my left hand is NOT in contact with both rifle butt stock & ground ...
Either its in contact with the foundation (ground/bench/log/car bonnet/whatever) & a squeezy bag, OR in contact with butt stock & my shoulder/chest...
I havnt done intensive testing, so maybe its just an ocd thing...but im sure i see the slightest deviations of recoil through the scope right before my blink if my L hand touches both rear stock & ground & my groups open up slightly or i miss the head of bunny...
But then, im not sure if overthinking is the curse of OCD, or OCD is the curse of overthinking...
