[QUOTE="woodnut, post: 732817, member: 17593"] Meatyrem, Just a WAG; but have you miked the bore? I am not nearly the sharpest tack in this forum, but I have read there are differing bore sizes. From what you've said about the energy it takes to run a bullet home( I flatten out the recoil pad); it sorta sounds like maybe there's a serious size problem between the bore and what sabots and bullets you're using. Odd though, that your original groups were so good if that were the case. Still, I'd want to know the bore size. Cerosafe can tell you easily what it is. Then you can better match up the sabots and bullets. As for the winds; At 15 to 25 mph, you bet they can throw bullets! Even heavy ones. Since you said the winds were swirling, it could account for the outs up/down and sideways. I like to use wind flags as they will really help doping the winds while group shooting. Not one, but several. And definitely, clean out the plug! Oh, and primers can make a difference in groups and good ignitions. Have you changed them? [/QUOTE]
