i recently starting to shoot at bit longer ranges, i got some 168vlds for my tikka t3 hunter varied seating depths until i found a nice load first group was 3 shots into .5 @100yd loaded a few more up put 2 into .3 adjusted scope then put 2 into same hole. so for a sporter weight rifle im quiet happy. my problem is i went back to 300yds and my group is about 7" i know im capable of better as i shot a 2.2" group with my 243 on the same target 2minutes before shooting the 7mm, im pretty sure i dont flinch as recoil desent worry me much.
my loads are 65gr re22 oal 3.316" which puts me 0.163" off the lands its a fair way but seems to work at 100yd i tried a couple of extra short loads just to see if they would shoot well and fit in my magzine and it seemed to work.
would this extra jump cause any inaccuracies out further or is it more a stablisation issue, any other theories or things i need to try?
