Thanks. The scope bite was my fault. The scope has plenty of relief, I was just crowding the gun without even realizing it.

I was not even planning on switching loads from last season, when I was shooting 300gr Deepcurl HPs with 110gr BH209. I think I was shooting 1.5" groups with that last season, but could not get it to group as well this time. There would be two shots almost touching, then the 3rd would almost always be two inches or so off. Not sure why. But when I started getting groups like this with the 270gr bullets, switching was a no-brainer.
