[QUOTE="shooters, post: 572719, member: 7769"] I give thanks on Thanksgiving to anyone willing to help me out .....in a hurry. Just went to range again.... Dope chart says to be dead on at 275, I should be .5 inches high at 50 yards. I am. 3 rounds, same hole. Cleaned gun and removed all copper. Went to 100 yards. Chart says 2.5 inches at 100. 3 rounds pretty much same hole. All touching. Cleaned gun. 200 yards, suppose to be 2.7 inches high. I am ALL over the place. High, low, right, left??? Cleaned gun, tried again. Same thing. Like a 6 inch group. Cleaned gun, went to 300 yards. Suppose to be 1.5 inches low, was 5 inches low, 9 inches low, 5 inches left, 7 inches low. Just all over the place. Loaded to exact book specs for 200 grain Accubond, 94gr Retumbo, 2.840 brass Rem brass, Fed 215 primers, full resized. 3.600 OAL. I have never built loads before, so I'm so lost. Is this a scope issue? Rings or base? Load issue? The scope is the top Sightron Slll 6-24x50 with Seekins rings and base. 300 RUM has a Kirby break on it, so I'm not sure if the scope can't handle the forces or what.
