I'm gonna go with victor3ranger on this! run the velocity up a bit to see if it will stabilize!
It shouldn't substantially increase the recoil……which should be quite mild anyway! memtb

I saw something like this once checking my rifle after missing a coyote. Turns out I was skipping bullets off the hood of my old ford
. Dang ARs and their tall sights. And for the record, the scope had shifted a few inches.
I'm curious if shooting at a close up target caused the muzzle to point down to the edge of the bench, just like in my case.

You would be amazed at how many Humvee's have holes in them from that very thingI saw something like this once checking my rifle after missing a coyote. Turns out I was skipping bullets off the hood of my old ford

I'm not surprised, if I can do it anyone can haha. It's the pickup I guide out of, so it makes for a good conversation with clients. Not that we shoot off the hood very often.

It seems the two in the lower right didn't keyhole. What changed other than scope adjustment?

Nothing at all. That's where the confusion lies.

You really can't do something wrong to cause instability. Skip in makes sense. Is it possible that it is not the bullet you think it is?

That's next. But it's a different box, I'll have to check lot numbers.

Not really, I took have a box thats left and they are 110's. I measured length to run it in the stability calculator.
I really think it's a skip in but they are adamant that it wasn't. Pretty hard to skip it in at 25 yards but anything is possible.
That time I shot my hood the bullet still hit the target, just oblong. Target was 40-50 yards away.
I think your best bet it's to shoot the rifle yourself and eliminate variables.

Sorry, I missed that in the original post. Grasping at straws here, no damage to crown? Was the rifle cleaned to bare metal prior to shooting the Barnes. Sometimes different bullet materials don't play well with others.
Frankly I'm stumped.

Does the rifle have a muzzle brake? If it does the bullet could be striking the inside as it exits the barrel. If it has a muzzle brake, remove it from the rifle and drop a bullet into to it to see if it gets hung up. A chain saw file can be used to reduce the raised part inside the brake if necessary.
