As Creepingdeath said try it without the can.

What does the bedding look like (did he bollox that up while he had it apart?)

I could just be a shit shot, lol, but I didn't think I would be that inconsistent. I am new to this reloading buzz but surely my reloads wouldn't be that bad considering the 3 velocity tests I did there was only a spread of 20fps which I thought was good. And i meticulously loaded the powder grains properly. The bedding job is good as far as I know. Previous owner re did it and I know for a fact he was shooting sub moa groups so I'm confident the rifle shoots well - or at least it did. As said above, I'm no gun slinger in any terms but I know when I pull shots and am honest about it and none of those wacky groups were pulled that bad. The thing that annoys me is I'm truly buggered as to where my 3rd shot went in my second group of the night.
