[QUOTE="bluedog69, post: 2932716, member: 118823"] If all had been shot at the same POI we would have 14 shots at MOA or less, and 7 predominately left and right 3"- 3.5", which is why I am leaning towards mechanical issue. This is a brand new scope never been shot so it is a suspect at this point. First thing we will do is shoot the 123 load again, and then a few more 143's. Then try a scope swap if the 123's don't shoot again. Because they shot well with two other scopes.(regular glass and a thermal) I have an old 7mm mag in Rem 700 BDL clothing. About 30 years ago I tried some Hornady 139 gr SSTs. This gun loved about every brand of 140 I fed it. The 139 SST went about a 12 inch group at 100! I tried 5 different powders and nothing helped. Then about 20 years later my daughter bought a 700 in 7 mag. So I thought might as well break hers in with the "faulty on sale" 139 SST bullets. First load I tried was about .75 MOA at 300. Tried some in my 7 mag again... 12" at 100. Now if that doesn't make you shake your head nothing will. [/QUOTE]
