re:

The first thing that I'd suspect is the length of the bullet and the rate of twist compatibility. A phenomenon that has been noticed is that when bullets barely stabilized exit the muzzle, it may take up to 50 yards or maybe more to "settle down" and fly straight. This could very well be what you're seeing.

Look at the muzzle crown to make sure it's dead square to the bore axis...and that the rifling at the crown is uniform. That's the most critical point in the barrel. If the crown isn't true, or the rifling isn't uniform...the bullet yaws on release.
