Last weekend I was at a range shooting my .243 Model 70 Winchester. The range was only 100 yards, and last year I had zeroed my rifle, with my reloads, at 200 yards. Same reloads I've used for years - 85 gr Speer BTSP pushed by 40.8 grn of 4350. Maybe a little high or low, but no left right varying at all. So I'm good with that. Then the factory ammo - Remington 80 grn PSP all shoots high and right, averaging 5 inches out. Its cheaper ammo sure, but at 100 yards I didn't think I would find that much difference. If factory ammo is supposed to be better than it used to be, what gives? I didn't change anything while shooting. Any ideas? Barrel heat, daytime temp, wind and humidity - all pretty much the same for the two hours I was there.
