I’ve checked and rechecked everything I’m doing at the loading and shooting bench as I was sure it must be a flaw in my process but not so. I alternated rifles a bit today while shooting to test myself and one was great; the rifle in discussion, not so much.
I have got this pipe hot in the gopher patch on more than one occasion. I’m ashamed to say how hot it has been to be quite honest - the stupidity of youth. With the responses both related to heat, likely it’s my own bloody fault and I cooked it. See what the scope reveals. Thank you for the responses.

What are you using as a copper solvent? Once the small bores become copper fouled, accuracy can really fall off.
