Sierra MK, BL-C(2) powder tested at various loads for accuracy, Hornady brass). I was shooting off a steady rest on a bench from a seated position. I've checked most things for tightness (although not the barrel nut) and all are OK. I also thought about the scope as the problem and have mounted a more reliable Leatherwood I have with a 20 MOA riser and regular rings. It shot fairly well with this previously, but since I haven't had the rifle long I'm not entirely sure what's going on. I'm hopeful I'll find out. I waited nearly a year for this upper and really want to love it.
Any other thoughts/suggestions are gratefully accepted. I'll update this post once I try out the other scope.
A Leatherwood is an upgrade? He, he.
Check the barrel nut. A foot is a huge amount of distance at what I am assuming is 100 yards.
