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?
IVery likely just those moments with lac of attention and to much relax and a bit of hot barrel.Quote:

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.
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.
@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

the email thing worked for me when mine were to big.
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?
Can you try another scope ? Take the suppressor off too.. Get rid of the variables one by one.
My suggestion is to shoot a square with the scope after checking the torque on the king screws are at the prescribed ft/lb tension and that it's free floating check the floating lug can return to battery happily. If issues after this then I'd get a local expert check the crown for any burrs or such like.
Good luck
