[QUOTE="sedancowboy, post: 2901515, member: 85874"] Several questions would then arise. Verify the twist rate of your barrel. I have seen several over the years that were not the same twist as stamped on the barrel. Try another bullet to see if it does the same thing. Stability or wind are the two most likely causes of a bullets accuracy falling apart at distance. Because a bullet in flight looses velocity faster than rotational spin it should get more stable at distance. I once built a rifle for a particular bullet and it never once shot it well for some reason. I switched bullets to a similar weight bullet and it has shot great for 4 years since. [/QUOTE]
