Well I just found the old problem. The 100.5 gr shoots good at 100 but out at 300 very unstable shooting irratic probally the excessive pressure as POP spoke of. When I changed to the 99.0 gr load, The first shot was dead 0 and 2.0"r windage at 300, the second shot was at the 2.25"r windage but 1.5 high, I pulled the third way low guess I flintched. I let it sit for about 15 minutes and shot two other guns. When I shot the 4th shot, It was 1.5" high at 1.5r windage. So the center of my group is +1" ^ and 2" right.I going to shoot again tomorrow or Saturday waiting 10 minutes between shots so I can get somewhat of a cold barrel shot each time and recheck my results. Awesome! Man, that happened to me so many times!

I found the culprit but read on for the results.
Just came home from the range,, loaded 10 rounds. First out of a clean bore was erratic at 3.5 high and 2 L windage 2nd, 3.25^ and .75< 3rd, 2.25^ / 1.25< They were all spread out. The 4th shot settled at 1.75^ and .75< followed by the 5th shot in the same hole!! I made my scope adjustment and the 6th and 7th shot hit 3.25 elev and 0 wind in the same hole!!. I then adjusted 2 clicks down and 8th shot 2.69 elev 0 wind. Well I shot the 200 yd mark and hit the target at 2.75 elv. 0 wind. I then shot the 300 mark .30 low 0 wind. What did I do to the gun to get it to preform? Nothing at all. It was not me either. I had been shooting my brass for the second time and I suspected something was wrong so I loaded new unfired brass .. I sized it all and loaded it. It shot like a dream. I guess when I was working up loads the first time, some of the brass stressed . I hate to discard the once fired brass but my gun just don't like it! Thanks For all your input.
