What time of day did you shoot? If the sun was out with a slight breeze mirage would open up the group. If it's a known load your shooting I would lean toward you were getting a weather report instead of a load report! Other causes would be seating depth, rifle needs cleaned, scope giving up, your not a good shot, etc


Good bullets properly placed always work, but not everyone knows what good bullets are, or can reliably place them in the field
