[QUOTE="Cookie114, post: 2464167, member: 111245"] Ive got a 280ai in the savage ultralite that im about to pull my hair out over. I cant get it to groups consistently. It either shoots 1/2moa or 2moa (pic attached) The gun has approximately 300 rounds through it and heres what ive tried. - 4 types of powder, 3 types of bullets, 2 primers and 2 headstamp brass - Completely broke the gun apart and re assembled - changed scopes - open barrel channel up more - different tq specs on action screws With this all being said I can take 3 3shot groups and one of them will have a terrible group that's normally vertically spread. Im not running the barrel hot and the bad groups will sometimes be on a fresh cold barrel and sometimes not. Also keep in mind that i have 3 other ultralites that I will shoot in between barrel cooling, off of the same bench with the same bags and I do not get this problem with the other ultralites. Im thinking either something with the gun/barrel is messed up or that its time to buy a different stock? Pics attached are 3 groups with 7828 and 3 groups with r23. All variables were the same and as you see i had a bad group with each load ** you gotta decipher through the lines and X marks but there is 3 3shot groups on each pic. The X marked holes where previous shots from another rifle. [/QUOTE]
