Quick Shot Challenge: What’s the dumbest shooting myth you’ve heard?
Look at how the ammo stacks to the left and right in the mag. That's why you are left and right of center with your groups.- John Glidewell

6.5 Creedmoor
I have never had a problem with Alpha. Peterson was thicker and had to turn them.- John Glidewell

6.5 Creedmoor
41.5 is a common load with that combo. 41 to low 42 is where it should shoot.- John Glidewell

Barrel wear or a manufacturing problem?
I think at this point I would try another scope. Check everything and monitor / check the action screw torque between strings. I had issues with a magnum once and the cute was to bed the action and use a small amount of lock tight on action screws. I would not rule anything out and get a bit...- John Glidewell

His (OP) orig and subsequent posts say 1:8 twist. Where are you getting 1:7 from- John Glidewell

Barrel wear or a manufacturing problem?
That looks like residual carbon to me. I would do as others have stated, Good cleaning. Shoot without suppressor with different ammo and see what happens. How many rounds on the suppressor too? They need to be cleaned every once in a while.- John Glidewell

Quick Load
Like @Dogtown said. I shoot a few charge weights so I can true QL. I can trust a trued profile. Then we shoot across the barrel time somewhere around 1 to 2 grains off max. I have had very good success finding the load the gun likes doing that. If I have to do this in a single range trip...- John Glidewell

Apples to Oranges. Just changing the numbers in the calculator really does nothing. If you shot your zero at 103 yards thinking it was 100 and you put a 100 yard zero in your ballistics calculator - your equations at distance will never line up. It is actual numbers and performance vs...- John Glidewell

The point I failed to make with that was make sure your data is good and matches. We do 100 as it is set at our range. But if I have 102 for zero in calculator but actually shot my zero at 100, then the output data will not be accurate and get worse the farther I shoot. Our hunters typically...- John Glidewell

Great point. Our firing line is set up so the line runs through the turret of our scopes, another piece some folks miss. (do not measure from the muzzle, you adjust/measure for the turret) We put up a rather large paper target at our firing line. We drive out to our targets and range back...- John Glidewell

Our process is simple and has worked on many rigs. We run ZCOs so unless I see something really wrong we do not do tracking test. Have yet to see an issue with any of them. First we verify zero at 100. We make sure it is 100 yards too, not 101. We verify the data in the Kestrel. We shot a...- John Glidewell

You need to be more specific with load, powder, bullet, speed, reloading process / bump, etc. I run Alpha in 3 rigs without issue and do not have issues running 109s at 2930 or 115 DTACs at 2850.- John Glidewell
