[QUOTE="bonecollector777, post: 2662117, member: 55303"] Amazing what a little seating depth change can do for you. Here's a pic of the best 3 shot group of any rifle I've ever shot. [ATTACH type="full" alt="20221114_180133.jpg"]409735[/ATTACH] However, I have a mystery that I can't solve. Just two days ago I shot several similar loads as well as loads with a completely different bullet. Not all great groups but a generalized same area POI. All shot off a table with a bag and bipod. All shooting sessions have been similar times of day, similar Temps, really nothing different in conditions or components or shooting position. Targets in same place. Yet today all of my loads were hitting 2-3ish inches higher than two days ago. Great groups and I haven't touched my scope adjustments in over a week. Any idea what in the world would cause that? Faulty scope not holding zero? But still being able to be repeatable POI during one session but different during the next? I can't figure it out. Scope is a brand new Leupold VX5 so i wouldnt think the scope is faulty but everything points to scope. Have checked and double checked scope rings, torque etc. And its all good.
