Thanks for the replies.
Went to the range last night for a quick check with three boxes I picked up at D!cks - CCI standards, Ely Target and Winchester Subsonics. Still spraying bullets at 50yds with 2.5" groups. The Winchester Subsonics seemed the best but not by much. Thinking there may be an issue with my rifle or scope (can't be me!). I'd hate it to be my rifle since it's the first rifle I ever owned, a gift from my dad when I was a teenager. I'm using a cheap scope that I may try replacing first.
