The above two groups are from my 240Wby with 85gr SGKs. First is 52.4gr second is 53gr, both IMR4831. The rifle is a custom built on a Pre 64 action and has plenty of mag length to reach the lands. I know a Wby is supposed to have freebore but I worked my way up in 0.3 grain increments and I'm not showing pressure signs. Both of the above loads were loaded to the lands. The group in between the two above at 52.7gr was more of a cloverleaf pattern but at about 1.25 inches.

Do the above groups indicate a loading depth issue? Should I try these loads at .01 inch deeper increments? Those two shots almost on top of each other at 2 different charges are enticing, just wondering if loading them deeper might help with that flyer.

The action is bedded very well and the barrel is floated. Trigger is great. 26 inch barrel that is not quite varmint contour but definitely heavier than a standard sporter. I don't think it's a barrel heat issue.

Sorry about the fly in the second pic. My buddy splattered him a few minutes later with his 204!
