[QUOTE="Ckleeves, post: 2047381, member: 83259"] I really don’t think it’s environmental. Run the numbers anyway you want, from sea level to 14k and try to throw in as much temp and humidity change as you can. You can’t come up with 2 moa off zero at 100. As far as a increase/decrease in velocity due to temp you would have one picky load/barrel if a 50fps swing causes a 2 moa shift at 100. Breaking in barrels and doing load development I have shot sub 1” groups at 100 with loads that have 200 FPS + of swing. Not all the time but it does happen. As others have said I would be taking a hard look at parallax, what rest was used, rear bag, possible barrel contact in the channel from different bipod loading and (I’m sure other will disagree and this is just my opinion) the Vortex scope on top if that’s still what’s on it.
