This is assuming that no other typical issues were the culprit (besides some of the common ones mentioned and I know you know what was the wind like). Don’t be to discouraged - it will shoot for you and I haven’t met too many .22s that weren’t a project of some sort!

I've heard that switching ammo requires several rounds to settle the barrel back in, but I rarely do that. I've noticed that it makes a difference but not as much as some claim, leastwise not in mine. Then again, none of mine are target rifles.

Yep each rifle is different and sometimes it makes a big difference - other times not so much. Just trying to give possibilities to explain what you’re seeing. Hopefully another range session will give you some more information!
