On the speed I was referring to the 55's which was what I was shooting last weekend. 24.5 grains loads so I guestimated + 3000. According to the TAC guide 23.4 and a 55gr Sierra= 2966 . On the scope setting I brought it up 12 clicks (1/8 inch per click). Pretty much all I did was load another clip, swiveled the rest to the 200 yard target and brought it up those 12 clicks then shot. If it was just the 55's I would chalk it up to instability but this has happened with three different weights now.

I curious to see what the 75's do. i have a buddy that swears by them in his rifle which has the same barrel length and twist.
