It wasn't until I jumped the load up to 115 grains that things went to hell after that. That's why I concluded it's a scope problem.

Thanks for the suggestion TN. I've got some FPBs in the bullet bag and will give them a try. But that will be just for giggles and grins because I'm going to hunt with Deep Curls if I can get them to shoot. Two and a half at 100 would be acceptable. But I'd really like two inches or less.
I would do the XTP comparison, if it isn't the scope you might try 100 gr 777 powder pushing the 300 gr bullets and work up. as SABOTLOADER mentioned, they need to be pushed hard to get accuracy. just a thought. Ray
