Thats what I thought too. Scope turrets were zeroed after the 80g load was shot. I put the target out at 100yds and shot the 110gr V load and missed the target. I could see the impact was low so dialed up 4 moa and shot again, still a little low, dialed up 2 more moa and shot the group posted. I'll go shot both those loads again and see If I get the same scope results.

NOTE: The charges I mentioned are NOT for production rifles.

Could be my shooting style. Forend is rested on a rice filled bag, buttstock is rested on a handheld rice bag used for elevation adjustment, nothing to keep the barrel from jumping. The rifle weighs 8lbs 6.4 oz, which for my muzzleloaders, is a lightweight, maybe that too is causing the large elevation change.

I finally had a chance to verify my scope results from March with the Omega
The scope was dialed back down 6 MOA then the same 80gr V load was shot
Then the scope was dialed up 6 MOA and the same 110gr V load was shot
Now that I think about it, I should have held the forearm and shot the 110 V load again to see where it printed. I'm pretty sure the large MOA scope adjustment is the result of me resting the Omega's forearm on my rice filled bag and using my left hand to adjust the small bag under the buttstock.
