[QUOTE="Guest, post: 115266"] [ QUOTE ] I disagree. A bad load may have very crooked bullets shot in an oversize bore which often produces as much horizontal spread as vertical spread. Even in a tight bore, crooked bullets will have quite a horizontal spread 'cause they leave the muzzle in all directions relative to its axis. [/ QUOTE ] True. I was assuming he used good components (and had experience with them in another firearm) - perhaps bad assumptions. It could also be flinching, hurricane winds, the flying spaghetti monster or a zillion progressively less likely factors - but given the limited details my guess would be mechanical problem. (BB (Bad Bullets) is also a mechanical problem) I have an old factory 670 win - 30-06 that shoots 1.5 MOA reliably when cold. Two shot limit (before letting it cool down) or it sprays. The Chrono shows consistent velocity. Any guess on the ot-six's problem? (My top guess is no floating, no bedding). [/QUOTE]
