[QUOTE="HSmithTX, post: 2495597, member: 121677"] I would triple check the primer and the powder. Pull the bullet and verify weight, color, shape etc on the powder with as much magnification as you can get. Punching out a live primer isn't advised, but if the powder is exactly the same I would do it. My M77's were very sensitive to variations in the load until I floated the barrels and bedded the actions. They are still somewhat sensitive but seems like it is no more than other factory rifles now. I also sealed every surface of the wood after seeing the zero wander some, this was prior to the bedding but it solved the wandering zero by keeping the moisture content in the wood consistent.
