No, if everything is running right, the gun is good, the load is tuned, your on your game and your shooting technique is correct and consistent, your bench and rests set up properly, etc, fliers are not normal. Fliers can be the load, the barrel, the action, the bullet, scope, mounts, bedding, front and rear rests, shooting bench, wind, mirage, shooting technique, bad gunsmithing, crown, off center chamber, trigger, etc, etc. It could be many things or a combination of several. If your getting fliers shoot someone elses gun that isn't, if you get fliers with that then it is probably you. If he shoots yours and dosen't get fliers then you know it's something your doing. If not then it could be one or more of the things mentioned above. You have to go through a process of elimination to figure it out and that can sometimes be a effort in futility. Sometimes you have a gun that just dosen't have the potential to provide the accuracy you expect or want, lots of time people have too high of an expectation for the rig they are running..and vice versa, many shooters will never live up to the potential of their rifle.
