[QUOTE="Buster Hemlock, post: 1898273, member: 109327"] From my experience, take that for what it's worth......Your large velocity spread is something in your reloading process. However I've had loads that showed 100 fps ES and you could cover a 5 shot group with a nickel at 100 yards. The speed difference turns up as more vertical at distance, not at 100 yards. Is everything on the rifle tightened to spec and is the barrel actually free floated? That much dispersion at 100 isn't just due to inconsistent velocity, again just that's from my experience. Also just was thinking is the rifle heavily fouled or is there the dreaded carbon ring in your rifles throat? These things can also cause some velocity differences and hurt accuracy. [/QUOTE]
