[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 1309181, member: 87243"] When was the last time you shot your standard load that shoots well, to make sure something isn't going on with the rifle? If I have a good load for a gun that is consistent and accurate, ill take 3 rounds with me to the range while doing load development, shoot those 3 first to confirm my gun is still shooting well and give me a basis for comparison, then shoot my development loads. I did this one time and my known load didn't shoot worth ****, and I discovered my base had started to work loose. Just a thought. But I have found the ELD'S can be very picky for seating depth depending on gun. My .260 ai shoots them half MOA at .045-.055 off, outside that groups fall apart. I have had to seat them from .090" off all the way in to .010" off to get them to shoot. You may have gone through all this, but just throwing it out. I heard several people say the 220's like .020" off. [/QUOTE]
