[QUOTE="RockyMtnMT, post: 1415495, member: 7999"] With POI changing that much I would check every mounting point on the rifle with a FAT wrench and verify torque. I have chased this kind of problem to the point of going nuts thinking it is something wrong with the ammo only to finally check the rifle and find out it was a loose pic rail or mounting screw or mag box touching the action etc. Don't rule out a scope issue. Without vel data from the session there is no way to know that it was an ammo issue. Every I have had this kind of issue it has always been something loose and you can't find it until you put the torque wrench on it. That is if it is a rifle that shot well before and then suddenly went gunny bags. I was helping a guy this fall try to figure out why his Proof built rifle would not shoot anything. Turned out to be his pic rail. Tighten it and it would shoot .5" group at 200y but go nuts after 3-4 shots. The pic rail would be loose again. Not loose enough to see or feel, about a 1/16 of a turn on a couple of the screws. He needed to bed the rail and a little loctite on the screws and good to go. I am not sure about the squirt of lube in a bag thing. I am with AZ on this too. Hope you find it. Steve [/QUOTE]
