[QUOTE="RockyMtnMT, post: 1307840, member: 7999"] Another thought(s). 100y is in my opinion too close to pay much attn. to accuracy. You can tell if it is bad, but I think there are a lot of good loads that are thrown out because they shoot 1" at 100 when the expectation is half that. I personally have seen many loads shooting 1" at 100y that shoot 2" or less at 300Y and then 3" at 600y. Not sure how many groups you have shot with this load but if it is repeatable with 2 high and 2 low you could have something on the rifle that is very slightly loose predictably throwing bullets. Or scope that moves under recoil back and forth etc. If you had shot a 5th shot it may have landed in the middle of the other 4 and you would have been tickled. My parting statement is that it is not worth changing anything in this current load until you prove that it is poor at greater distance. My gut says you have a good load. Steve [/QUOTE]
