[QUOTE="brant89, post: 970463, member: 49553"] After playing with seating depth at 39.0 gr I loaded three rounds each in .3 gr increments and shot each at separate dots at 200yds, allowing the barrel to cool between shot strings. This gave me two touching and one flier at 39.3, 39.6, and 41.7. There were also a couple other groups that would group two fairly close and send one flier. In my previous load development with this rifle shooting 5 shot groups it would consistently shoot 3&2 groups showing two separate POI at any distance in a totally random order. I have been very careful when adjusting parallax and making sure I have a consistent cheek weld from one shot to the next. So far I have made sure that the tang and barrel are fully floated and I have bedded the recoil lug but no bueno. I also removed the scope and remounted it as well as making sure the action screws were to the proper spec. Still the same issue. I'm going to shoot a couple 5 shot groups tomorrow at the 39.0 gr charge weight and see what I get. [/QUOTE]
