[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3078668, member: 15054"] I wish I loaded 7mm-08 I would make you some ammo to test. Store ammo and my guns do not get along at all. Now when shooting is the pressure you put on the but of the gun against your shoulder the same? Is your hand positioning the same each time. Is your thumb resting on the barrel if so get it off. How about parallax on the scope.. is it dialed in at the distance you are shooting? If you are using a front bag Notice where the bag is at and stick it in the same place every time. Even if all that is spot on store ammo still sucks. I seen many people at the range shooting all kinds of .308 ammo (Not match ammo) and groups were in the terrible area. I have let them try my 308 ammo and every time this happens the groups stay under .75" On the could be the gun issue. I had a 7mm mauser and it would walk higher and left if i kept shooting..say 7 or 8 rounds would make a rainbow 7" high and 7" left of original POI. Let it cool and it would print right back on the money. A barrel that is straightened and many are will many times return to the place they were before straightening if you shoot enough to get the barrel warm. My .308 savage heavy barrel liked the barrel to be 85-105 degrees to really bring in some tight groups. This was a 24" barrel. When I cut it to 20.5" it was not as picky on temps. I used an infrared thermometer gun to check temps. It also liked about 20 rounds down the barrel before it would shoot really good. after 40-50 rounds I would see accuracy drop off. Yea a lot of experimenting with that gun. [/QUOTE]
