[QUOTE="Bullet bumper, post: 779185, member: 17844"] Ok the fact that the same load shot well at 100 and then a move to 200 caused a problem then I think your shooting techniques and rest system is no good or at least not consistent . Stop all the powder and load changes and load up the 56.5 loads that shot well at 100. Stop playing with the scope and concentrate on firing one 3 shot group on each target center . It would be real helpful if you told us exactly how the gun is fired , like from a bench rest , what type of rests , bags or bi-pod used , free recoil , not free recoil ,etc etc ? When moving the guns elevation from 100 to 200 you should try to preserve the rest positions and tracking as much as possible . A photo of how you shoot is worth a thousand words . You will have to watch the wind and either shoot when the wind condition is very low or at a consistent wind speed and direction . Once you consistently get three shots close together in a group . Then you can step up to 5 shot groups. 3 shot groups save ammo and if you can't group 3 then what is the point of wasting another two shots on an already bad group. 3 shots also cuts down on barrel heating , shooter fatigue , wind changes and cost . 3 shots tests the gun 10 shots tests the shooter .
