RE: ballistics
Yes, I go from a three shot group of about 1.5-2 inches to shooting god only knows where. I don't know what is goingon. If it was the scope I shouldn't be able to group like that, and everything on the ballistics says I should still be almost dead on. But something is definately not quite right.

RE: ballistics
I wouldn't be too sure about that. There are a number of things you should check. I would start with ensuring the bases and rings are tight, check the action screws, then try a different load. I can tell you personally, just a couple of weeks ago I was at the range and the 06 was printing 4"groups with a load that is consistantly inside 3/4-1 1/4". Checked the action screws and sure enough the front one was loose.You didn't say what flavor of firearm this is so it can be anyone's guess. The ww 165 gr pp out of my FN only produces 3" groups.

RE: ballistics
I have a Remington 710 that dosen't have see-thru rings on it. And no I haven't checked any screws yet and it wasn't windy. The next chance I have to shoot will be the weekend of the 22nd so I should have some more news than
