[QUOTE="highfinblue, post: 3065003, member: 67530"] Had a guy explain it to me one time and defined groups tightening at distance as yaw, not sure that's spelled correctly, but he said bullets do not always stabilize within the first couple hundred of yards, and I had a 6.5x284 that would not shoot great groups at 100, but shot better groups at 400. I killed a whitetail with that rifle at 750 laser range finder yards. One shot, perfect conditions, right through the boiler room. I was shooting 140 grain Bergers right at 3000 fps. Folks told me it couldn't be done, but I got there with no pressure signs, and Retumbo was the powder I used. I have never experienced it again, but that one time I did find that the gun shot better at distance than close. [/QUOTE]
