    What would cause it to double up then shift a moa then 1/2. Is it just me. Pic to follow when I work out how to do it

    Thanks Sam

    Bedding or inconsistent body position behind the rifle spring to mind. Or the rifle just doesn't like that load?

    Bedding, check to make sure the action is located on the recoil lug properly.

    Could also be the brass if it is a mix of lots. I encountered some late CAC that was considerably heavier. The .308 is also velocity sensitive and tend to string vertically if the velocity increases due to a heavy case. Weigh your cases to find out, I had some that were 10 plus grains heavier.

    Regards to photo, for my phone I have to
    click on the add photo icon
    Click on from computer
    Click on choose file
    Choose my relevant photo
    It then shows the file in the little box
    Click on upload file
    Then wait for a varying amount of time (dependant on file size) for it to show in the text box(it shows as text until you post it up)

    Resize photo to smaller size if you can

    Ive seen that before when scope was moved and it HADNT yet settled it self into where it needed to be......old engineer mate always told me to move 3 clicks past where you want it then take it back...then tap scope a few times

    it might be nothing...it might be something.

    @Samsamdjt thats a bloody interesting pic, never seen that before.
    My initial thought is a mounting screw is loose and the scope is shifting under recoil or maybe theres something come adrift in the scope itself.
    Be keen to hear what others think.

    It's nothing to do with the scope or the mounts as after I shot my normal hand load using seirra game Kings and grouped up fine. And I belive it was the top two then the bottom then the middle. Realy strange must be one of those things.

    so can you duplicate it ???

    is there any noticable diference between your 6 cases????
    really strange indeed....but at worst you still have a what?????? 1-2moa load,so all not lost ,its a good to 200-300 deer load.
