[QUOTE="tlk, post: 566378, member: 11397"] Scot, thanks for the reply. No insults taken here, just want to get it all straightened out. Here are the answers to your questions: I was at 100 yards prone. No wind. Scope is a super sniper fixed 10, so no power changes. There were no changes for focus or parallax over the testing period. Other specs: 30-06, 168 smk, 56.5 gr h4350, cci primer, lapua brass. Bullets were all consistent in bearing surface length andeach powder charge was weighed on a calibrated beam scale. Rifle is a Mauser action with a 28" heavy sporting contour barrel. Ring are Burris xtr and bases are weaver. Shots were taken prone. Target sides were 4" from center (you can see this in the pic I think). I can get a group consistently under .35" if prone. I finally found a load specs the rifle likes (lots of reading and using info off of this site). What gives (to me) evidence that something is up is that I dialed low right (.572"), high left (.443"), low left (.793"), high right (.258") and back to zero (.233") - it seems to be consistent. I initially thought it was me as well, but it is consistent across multiple tests, including the zero grouping around a quarter inch (btw, never got a group that tight until I applied the methods listed out in the parallax thread). The scope is close to center, about 2 moa low and right iirc. [/QUOTE]
