Home Forums Reloading Big Game Rifles Help diagnose this group

Good rest. Sandbags fore and aft.
Scope - Minox ZA3, Talley lightweight mounts. All screws tight.
Rifle: Weatherby Ultra Lightweight.
Not bedded.
Ultra Lightweights are supposed to like a little upward pressure on the barrel.
Not freefloated.
Fired at 6X.

What bothers me is the consistency of the inconsistency. If the scope or mounts were bad I would expect more variance.

Here's the 3 shot group I fired before the 5 shot group. This group measures 0.93" center to center. After I fired this group I let the barrel cool then adjusted the scope 10 clicks up and 3 clicks left.
