[QUOTE="Hugnot, post: 2588965, member: 115658"] Sounds like multiple problems. Start with scope & mounts. Check out twist rate by actually measuring twist then load appropriate length bullet. Distant hits might indicate scope problems. Sideways hits indicate inadequate stabilty. Assuming good crown, problem exists with brake removed. No visble internal bore problems. Is this a 6.5 147 Hornady ELDM? Bullet length 1.440, tip length .142, Sg = 2.29 with 7.5 twist sounds good - should not hit sideways. Should not blow up at 3,000 fps with 7.5 twist. Checking out twist rate by actually measuring it & check out mounts & use a different scope. [/QUOTE]
