Hi, here goes my $.50,
First, what rifle type you are shooting from? I understand that COL is the optimised to your rifle and it is a Bolt action.
If it is a light hunting contour barrel it can be the "over heat" causing it for sure, otherwise a slight variation on the powder weight also can cause POI variants, but not "extreme" like this.
I will follow this thread for more feedback.
Try ask a friend or someone with a good shooting skills to have a go with your rifle or put it on a "fixed" or sturd bench rest style ret to double check.
Rifle is a t3 and I'll wait for all the jokes to start..double checked powder weights probably just me I'll have another go on a cold barrel

did you allow it to cool down between shots
That is a huge variation, I'd not expect that unless the loads were 10gr or something apart. If it was a No4 Enfield I'd say a temperature and/or badly bedded/loose action to stock issue in need of fixing. Main screw(s) loose?
Scope/sights loose or stuffed?

You might be that shit at shooting but I doubt it given the rest of the group. Especially with a .223
I would say there is something mechanical going on. Scope mounts? Scope?
Then again.......it is a T3.........
On a completely unrelated note. Are you resizing your pics on a PC before posting? Everytime I try and do it directly from either my iPad or iPhone the picture is retardedly big.
School me sensei....
Just shoot four shot groups.
Nah seriously something is amiss, whether it's you or as spoken above a mechanical rifle/scope combo issue. Ie something came loose.
Given there is such a huge difference and you've checked your reloads I'm leaning away from an ammo problem, initially anyway.
Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?
Also, are you running a can? Hasn't come loose and you're getting bullet strike/deflection?
Anyone school me on the picture posting issue?
.......sorry for the sort of hijack
Your T3 is shooting a typical 3 shot group. After that everything turns to shit and all the other animals get away unharmed.
Is this the pattern every time you shoot it? First 3 or 4 close and then it opens up? If so, I am picking it is a bedding issue. Not something loose.
Experience. What you get just after you needed it.
@Proudkiwi I'm just posting them straight from my iPhone library seems to work nothing fancy going on.. I'll go through an check every thing is tight and I am running .30cal can so plenty of clearance there. Not bedded either so might have to look at that too

@Proudkiwi had an idea my phone is only a 4 so maybe lower pixel camera?? Dunno

Possibly try one of two things
email the photo to yourself, it should ask if you want it resized, click yes then when it turns up save it and post, or put it in an internet hosting site such a photo bucket and resize there .
the email thing worked for me when mine were to big.
Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?
I would not think anything mechanical if that is the pattern everytime you shoot, to put 4 shots in a row in very close proximity to each other pretty much rules out anything loose I would think.
How hot is the barrel under the suppressor by shot 5?
