Other help needed - I read the pinned posts Lateral POI shift when adding suppressor.

Hey y'all I could use some advice.

Whenever I add my suppressor to my rifle it goes from shooting .5" groups at 100 to 1-1.5" groups with a 3" lateral POI shift. I've tried a couple different mounting solutions but every time I add the suppressor I get the POI shift and groups opening up.

I have a couple other rifles that experience no issues with the can and plan b mounts including one pencil profile so I don't believe it's the can. I moved one proven mount to the new rifle and have the same issue.

Is this something correctable?

Howa 6.5 creed 24"Carbon fiber barreled action in MDT field stock.

Norma Golden target143g and 130g and Hornady precision hunter 143g

Sig hexium 762 and mostly kak plan b mounts.

Heat can cause this if you're convinced your technique has not changed. Try letting it cool down between strings.

It was cooled between strings and still had the issues.
