[QUOTE="agrodgers, post: 1459573, member: 46003"] Checked the twist rate, 8:1 as advertised. Canhunter, definitely changed body position from group to group (3shots @ 300yds & 1 shot @ 200yds) but as the POI consistency between each session is the same then that can be ruled out. Wind is almost always present but mostly from behind, we have small ribbon markers out on the range to see direction and speed. Additionally, I wouldn't expect as big of a shift in just 100 yds, at least between those to distances, without it being really gusty. 1" or so would be in the noise but 7-8" is way too much. I did think about maybe the barrel heating up as a factor as well (it does get pretty hot to the touch even after 4 shots) so I had reversed things as well (1 shot at 300yds first and 3 shots @ 200yds) but still get the same results and POI per yardage. At some point I will run the seating depth experiment where I will be only able to load 1 round at a time (maybe next trip out) but since the Partitions look like they will work (AB's being shipped now as well) I figure I'll just finish out the workup on those and get some good practice in as the Antelope and Elk seasons will be here before I know it (86 days and counting). Fortunately, one of my hunting buddies just bought a 6.5CR for his son to hunt with this year and it liked the ELD-X precision hunters right out of the box so we'll be able to use up all of the extra's I've got laying around now. Thanks for all of the thoughts/questions/ideas from everybody! [/QUOTE]
