Something to think about. If your target backer is leaning forward or back, not plumb or possibly twisted to one side and is not flat, bowed in or bowed out it can give you a false indication of bullet tipping.

Thanks for reminding me of that John.  I'd forgotten that on this target the backer was at quite an angle.  My range recently rebuilt ( destroyed ) the 200m range and we are using temporary target frames which are placed on sloping ground.

I will be shooting at another range next week and will compare the results.

Chris.
