[QUOTE="BountyHunter, post: 53708, member: 12"] Tim You said "measured powder". Almost impossible to use a powder measure to dump charges for the big cartridges. got to weigh each one! That could be first problem. Then tail or head wind, clouds coming and going causing your aim point to move optically up and down. Do not shoot free recoil also, hang onto the gun. Most frequently you need to come up or down a little on the powder as the primary cause of dispersion. Have you tried the ladder method at about 300-400 yards in a no wind condition to find the barrels sweets spots with that bullet, primer and powder combo, if not go into bullets ballistics and think the date is 12-24-02 for explanation.
