The theory is that the very long QLA (about 1 inch) is responsible because as the bullet comes free from the riflings gasses kick it sideways. Not 100% sure that is the problem in my gun, but should be easy to check. The first bullet I want to try is the no excuses. As is, I get about an 8 inch group at 25 yards with some going through the target sideways!
We will see!
