Try dropping your powder charge, 125 is alot for powder.
I had the same problem with the wifes CVA and Powerbelts. I reduced powder to 85 grains of powder and threw away the pellets and atleast stayed on paper however it took me changing to conicals, ie: 295 grain Buffalo Bullets and 85 grains of powder to get any kind of consistency.
I use 340 grain Buffalos in my 700ML with 90 grains of Pyrodex and get 3" groups @ 100 yards.

Tighten and re-tighten all the screws on your scope mounts and rings also as they can come loose after initial mounting. Add to that the "magnum" load you are shooting and its possible that you may have jarred the scope or the mounts loose.

All right i'll try that. I did have trouble with it before when trying to sight using the iron sights. Same thing close at 50 but nowhere around at 100.

I don't like sighting based on a single shot. ML are inherrently less accurate and consistent than a rifle, so rather than chase the paper I'd try 3 shot groups.

Are you swabbing the barrel between shots or every few shots?

I spit swab and dry swap between shots at the range.

Hope this helps. I know it can be very frustrating.

Good Luck

First, fire a 3-shot group before making adjustments. Second, swab between every shot. This should help to make your 3-shot groups more consistent and your adjustments more useful.

I would also agree with backing off from 125 grain loads. In fact, I'd probably start at about 80-90 grains and work up from there, no more than 5 grains at a time.

Good luck!

try to back it down to 100 grns or less. and shot a real sabot. I shot t/c shock waves at 250 gr with 100 gr of pyrodex pelets I was shooting 150 grns and was all over the place. I have herd shockwave would patern a lil better cause they are a lil more areo-dynamic hornady sst is a good load I hear. I clean between each shot I use a wet patch with #13 bore cleaner and a a dry patch. when I am on the stand and shot I just reload but with out the damp patch the 3rd shot is a real pain to load.

good luck I think lowering the powder might help a bunch.

With that many shots your barrel must have been pretty fouled. When I target shoot I run a spit patch down my barrel to knock back the fouling after every shot. After 5 to 8 shots (or when my accuracy heads south) I will field clean the barrel to get rid of the fouling. This should help you alot, if you want accurate target shooting. Best of luck.
