[QUOTE="upacreek, post: 987524, member: 59039"] These were 6 good loads except for horizontal. I am thinking me or mechanical problem. I walk the 400 yrds so the barrel gets 10-15 minutes btween groups. Being a hunting rifle I was sending 3 in about 1 or 2 minutes depending on note taking time. Always wait for barrel to cool between groups. I will bring my IR temp gun and my blanket next time. The bipod and rear support have beeen the same. I dont drink any of those and dont have any nerve problems. I walk the 400 yrds and am very calm and collected to shoot. I am in pretty good shape, so its not the issue. If I cant hold the rifle steady enough to keep the crosshairs within the 1" bullseye, I dont shoot. My trigger is set at 2.5lb and has a little creep. It ****ed me off till I learned how to use the creep to stage the trigger. It creeps a little, I pause, re aim and i bet its a 1lb trigger at that point. ****ed me off at first, but i kind of like it now. Well unless anyone has some other ideas I am gonna make the same loads uap and go back to shooting one and cool 10 minutes then shoot again. These were the first back to back shots I really expected good accuracy with. [/QUOTE]
