[QUOTE="royinidaho, post: 203810, member: 2011"] zoeper, I'm not familiar with your rifle composition such as barrel weight, bedding, free float/pressure point etc. maximum X spread is about 0.57 maximum Y spread is about 0.43 Nothing wrong with that! Group size spread is about 1.3 inches with the lowest powder weight giving the better group size. I'd recommend checking velocities and resulting energies. If you're shooting squirrel sized game go with the 43.1 grain load. If you're shooting at deer/pig sized animals then any of the upper range powder weights should be sufficient. Just my guess. I plotted group, X and Y against powder and saw nothing that I could understand. The only interesting note about the plot was that all lines (group, x and y) intersected at just below 44.1 grains of powder. I'd say that is interesting but most probably meaningless. Sorry I couldn't be of more help. [/QUOTE]
