I love shooting mysteries like this - just not when they are with my rifles.
The problem the OP has is one that I chased for a long long time before I finally figured it out with some of my long range target rifles. I spent a lot of time and money before I figured out the problem wasn't me. It wasn't the rifle, it was the bullet.
Now I have this Marlin lever rifle that seems possessed by an entirely different sort of devil. I've got some "fixes" in the works but not much confidence that they will actually work. Time will tell, but I'm still not sure if it is the rifle, the bullet, the load or maybe even me (naw, not possible :))
