[QUOTE="boomtube, post: 231730, member: 9215"] "... got the gun to group under 1/4" at 3212 fps I thought finally found my load. Went home loaded up 20 not changing a thing. The last to times i have gone out to check zero for a trip and could do any better than a hair over 3/4" I havent changed anything i am aware of." Doubt you are doing anything "wrong", you just fired more rounds and have gotten a more true picture of what your rifle and loads are capable of doing on a regular basis. The 1/4" groups would make you competetive in a formal Bench Rest match against rifles with custom actions and triggers with expensive custom barrels while firing custom bullets and using 36X scopes. Doubt your STW is capable of that except for an occasional random group. And I KNOW no hunting bullet is consistantly capabile of that kind of grouping. I think your 3/4" accuracy is really GREAT for a truly high powered hunting rifle and ammo! Smile a lot and don't worry about it. [/QUOTE]
