[QUOTE="BobbyL, post: 417010, member: 14081"] One thing that you need to do is move your load development farther out to 300 or 400 yards. This will tell you a lot more about whats going on but isnt far enough for wind to throw off what your doing. Most bullets take a while to go to sleep. The larger the caliber/the faster the MV and the larger the bullet the longer it takes. I have found load development at 100 to be absolutely useless. Seating depth can mean everything when it comes to doing load development. Check and recheck it. Try the bullets up close to the lands around .005-.010" off. How much are you cleaning the barrel? You can clean them to much. A large amount of guns like to be run dirty rather then clean. There is a lot of other things that can cause problems like these such as scopes mounts and stock problems. Sounds like you hit all these ones already... bobby [/QUOTE]
