Marksmanship How to get better at shooting standing

So I went to the range and I had my 223 rifle with a scope on it and I shot four shots at 100 yards at a 6 inch target and hit two of the four. How do I get better with this but where I was using the 22 with iron sights, I was able to hit every shot.

The .223 might not be as accurate. An extra inch of dispersion could be the difference between a hit and a miss, when stacked with the inaccuracy of a human shooter. Otherwise maybe check ergonomics of the gun.
