    Don't understand the "CCB" thing and weather the shot is called or not,it still adds to your group size.
    Soooooooo . . . . . . . with the weapon and optics of that quality,what else is going on ?? What pull weight is that trigger ?? Does it have creep and overtravel ?? Is the gun properly rested ?? Is your non trigger hand supporting,and making minor adjustments to,the buttstock of the weapon ?? Have you checked the bullet runout of your loaded ammo ?? If the weapon has a muzzle device,is it not appropriately tight ??
    I know . . . lots of things to consider here. However you have advanced out of the "really accurate hunting rifle" category and the groups (IMO) should be tighter and in the least,more consistant.
    BTW - -> If your gun is a 260Rem,great choice of chamberings. --- SAWMAN

    CCB is cold clean bore. I generally find that it has a different POI but not always. I have also seen that called a fouling shot.

    I am still working on loads for it. The TMK groups (top 2 pics) are not there yet but getting closer, I stopped working with them. The LRX load (3rd pic) did very well IMO. There was the CCB shot, the one off to the left I guess you could say was a call but the other 3 went in the same hole. The red diamond is .5 MOA at 100. The round count is getting close to 50. The Accubond data was the first ladder I tried, hate to think I may need to slow it down more.

    I think the trigger is set around 2# +/- and no creep or over travel that I feel. Front rest and rear bag...support hand working rear bag...no I haven't checked run out

    A use very similar set up I'm my LR rifle (both are .260) seems to hold right at .25 at 1K and my .308 is just a little looser than that.
