[QUOTE="Clem Bronkoski, post: 2556707, member: 110518"] Teri I appreciate your comments but I too have been shooting for over 55 years and I have shot competitively for a number of years including some national matches so I know if I muff a shot and even call it in my head when it goes off but not in this case. In fact one of my team mates was a multi-time national champion and he too had flyers when we shot together. One of the reason I know it wasn't me is because I am a lefty and this is a right hand bolt action rifle. Everything, and I mean everything was consistent. My cheek never moved from the stock nor my grip on the rifle changed. At the shot the crosshair never veered from the bull. I was dead solid. The only explanation is the ammo. And why did it happen only with the Winchester ammo? All other ammo was consistently all over the place or only a minor deviation from an otherwise one hole group. One thing I will consider that I will eliminate on my next outing is to shoot 5 rounds at a sight in target prior to shooting a group. This process should eliminate the variable of different lubes on the bullets. I may even swab the bore between brands of ammo. [/QUOTE]
