[QUOTE="zcruse, post: 1598604, member: 10893"] Sounds to me like you may have over torqued your stock or your gun just doesn't like that powder or bullet. First I would check the stock. I had this issue with a 270 that shot great until the wood stock was put back on after doing some maintenance. The next trip it shot like crap. When we got home we saw a hairline crack in the stock. Loosened the stock screws a half turn and it went back to shooting 3/4" groups. Also as others have mentioned check that it is free floated all the way down the barrel. If all that is in order then pick either a powder or a bullet that you want to use and vary the other. As always try to only change one thing at a time. If it's any consolation every 30 cal I've owned has been much more load finicky than my 27 and smaller cals. keep trying and you'll find a combination! [/QUOTE]
