[QUOTE="rscott5028, post: 479495, member: 24624"] Have you already done a complete load workup from scratch on this rifle? e.g. ladder test from min to max load at .5 grain or less increments? When I re-read your post, it sounded like you've only fired a few groups with one powder charge. Even if it was your best load before bedding, you may well have changed the harmonics of your rifle. I also recall reading an article once that described a situation/technique whereby you could hone in on an accuracy node by manipulating seating depth/jump to the lands ever so slightly and that moving in or out would change the group formation from horizontal to vertical and at some point in between you would get your tightest group. I've never exactly reproduced that (perhaps not thorough enough), but I've seen something similar. Good luck. Richard [/QUOTE]
