[QUOTE="redandwhite72, post: 705363, member: 50863"] I did a little shooting tonight. I wonder if I some how messed up that batch of ammo. It was shooting good side to side but up and down, it was all over the place with my hand loads. Shots 9-12 were factory Barnes loads. I got a 2.5" group with them at 300 yards. The only problem with them was they were 8" to high. I shot first leaving the scope alone. Then turned it down 2 clicks that I had went up. Which didn't change anything really. I think I'm going to go back down the other 6 clicks then get some more factory loads. I'm going elk hunting in Colorado next week. So I just need something to get me through that then I can jack around with it when I get back. I got to thinking about when I was shooting Sunday. The shots that were grouping good were nickel plated federal casing that I weighed every powder charge on the balance scale. I'm thinking now, when it started shooting goofy was when I ran out of them and shot the Barnes brass and the powder was weighed on a digital scale. Do you think there is that much difference in the casings or do you think there could be that much difference in the powder using the digital scale. Its a rcbs scale but its not a high $ one. Azshooter- will check over all that stuff and let you know if I find anything. [/QUOTE]
