[QUOTE="QuietTexan, post: 2868802, member: 116181"] Increaed from what to what? Either way IMO no, a hundredth either way on case length isn't causing this. I agree with the above, unless you jammed a case mouth not likely a root cause. Depending on if you went from bugholes to bad, or bad to worse it could be different things. From bugholes to bad could be high temps pushed you out of tune, barrel fouled out, a scope screw worked loose (pretty common actually), or something relatively major like those are the more likely cause of a sudden massive change in group size. If this is bad to worse could be you didn't have a great load to start with and you're just seeing the real size of the load. Had a few nice .5" groups but got occasional flyers, and now you got an "all-flyer" group aka found the real max dispersion of the load. Even great loads shoot a 1MOA group every now and again, it's a statistical likelihood that just has to be accepted. That's why I document all my groups, not just the pretty ones. Every once in a while you throw something that makes you want to puke, but you shout it again and it's back to normal 🤣 [/QUOTE]
