[QUOTE="eddybo, post: 323930, member: 7194"] Thanks for the reply Joel. I swapped scopes but ran out of light before I could shoot again. I have no idea what it is doing closer up. I knew something was not right last time I took it out,but asumed it was the load. I shot today expecting it to be right since I went back to my old load which has always shot lights out. No such luck. The first shot was perfect. I thought things were back on track. Second shot gave a lot of vertical. I stared tinkeing with the loads to try and get the vertical out. I played with the load a while then realized I had two decent groups about 8 inches apart. I checked tightness on everything including the action screws and then scrubbed it good and tried again. Same scenerio one shot goes to point of aim the other goes MOA high and 1/2 MOA right. The only causes I know that will cause double grouping are bedding and scope problems. I know the bedding on this gun has been perfect, and cannot think of a reason that would change snce I never take it out of the stock. This 338 AM has always shot better than this regardless of te load, so I am hoping scope problems explain it. [/QUOTE]
