[QUOTE="Garrum, post: 22793, member: 670"] Yes, the Aetec has an AO, and I do my best to eliminate all apparent parallax. I have fired groups at 200 and 300 yards, and they all show the same tendency to throw one round away from the others. The factory rounds that I have tried (Hornady) group about 1.5 inches, and make pretty round groups, with about equal spacing between rounds. The throat in my barrel is slightly long, and I figure that factory rounds just can't make the leap accurately. I rolled my handloads like you suggested, and I didn't see any wobble, but it could be so slight that I just can't see it. I really need an RCBS Casemaster. Unfortunately, no one else that I shoot with has any ambition to shoot precisely, and most of them flinch when firing a .308 Winchester. Their idea of sighting in a rifle is to lean over the hood of a truck at fifty yards, and adjust the scope after every shot. So I'm afraid that letting any of them fire the rifle would simply be a waste of my powder. Sigh. I shoot off of a bench, over sandbags. I place the front bag a few inches in front of the action, so the sling swivel isn't contacting during recoil. However, the rear swivel does contact the rear bag. Could the rear swivel be part of the problem? I'll pay more attention to the way I pull into my shoulder next time I go to the range, and I see if that helps. Thanks for the help so far, maybe between smarter heads than mine, this problem will get squashed. [/QUOTE]
