Unhappy .308?

Ok guys this is a dumb question. I am not stupid but I have a problem that I don't have with my .223...This .308 Remington Varmit rifle(heavy barrel) I can have it dead on at 100 yards and when I shoot 200 yards it hits 4 inches to the right, the barrel is cold and no wind temp is about 45 degrees. is this the norm? I am using Hornaday match ammo.

Re: .308?

Re: .308?

first place i'd look is the crown, check CLOSE for defects. assuming the loads are consistant and bbl/action are where they belong.

Re: .308?

Will do! I load for accuracy, right down to the grain, cases, primers and AOL is right on.
I even load for my friends and thay love the consistancy with the accuricy and the care I use
to make the loads. I even check the run out on cases and the cartrige before and after the load.

@ 100 yards I can get 1 to 1.5.
