[QUOTE="Idaho Hunter1, post: 1938606, member: 110057"] Let’s assume that the shooter and the environment were not causing ill effects. Could it be something as simple as the physical distance between impacts at 200 yards and 300 yards are the same for some reason related to rotational stability as the bullet slows some? I have not had this problem with this rifle while shooting factory 178gr Hornady ELD-M side by side. I shot those shots with that ammo as a control group to see if I had a rifle that had become fouled somehow. Not trying to cause a argument as much as understand if I can trust this ammo to hunt with. I wasn’t sorting bullets by measurements and weights before loading them, just using all components from the same lot. If no one has experienced this, my plan would be to just work some more up and try them all the way out to 1k and see what comes of it. And I’ve read the Litz theory papers and would agree, I just can’t argue with holes in paper and on steel. [/QUOTE]
