[QUOTE="Pro2A, post: 1671622, member: 17889"] That's a 6MOA variance....WOW!!! There is something major going on there. The major portion has got to be easy to spot. Have you had competent shooter friends watch your technique? Have you video recorded your technique? There are probably numerous contributing factors. Some may be equipment; others technique. Have you truly successfully harnessed that 338RUM? Parallax and eye/scope alignment change with different positions. Building positions for accuracy is critical. Many shooters shoot with body position off to the side of the longitudinal axis of the rifle bore....like the little plastic "green army man" we all had as kids. This causes the recoil to be vectored to the side...path of least resistance....resulting in poor accuracy and repeatability. This happens especially in prone and off a bench. Variations in positioning the rifle stock securely and consistently into the pocket of your shoulder also contributes to inaccuracy. Very notable between prone and bench. Practice getting your body in line with bore axis to consistently absorb recoil.
