It could have been the primers not taking the back pressure from the White Hots. Personally if the accuracy is not there, go back to what you know works.

I shoot a 300 grain XTP in .44 caliber with green harvester crushed ribs. I've yet to shoot a deer with them because the deer are not cooperating, but one of these day I will connect.
