[QUOTE="ilc, post: 1716275, member: 97996"] You have received a lot of well meaning responses, however because none of us were with you they are all just speculation. My advice is to get an experienced long range shooter to go with you and shoot some paper to find out what the issue actually is. I'm not suggesting this is your problem, but bullets can become unstable at long range due to dynamic stability issues, typically at transonic velocities. The 168 grain Matchking is a classic example of this. As a general rule gyroscopic stability increases downrange as velocity decays faster than spin rate. Dynamic stability is dependant upon bullet design factors and much more difficult to predict. [/QUOTE]
