maybe it is because the barrel is indexed so the barrel harmonics release the bullet to the side instead of up
I know when I get a re-barrel I always get them indexed to 12 oclock part of being consistent and truing everything

Could you explain what indexing is please marksman?

basically it is finding the natural curve of a barrels bore and setting that at 12 or 6 o'clock when the barrel is fitted so there is no tendency for a barrel to want to vibrate any other way than vertical when fired. This means the shooter tunes the vertical out as per normal and a high level of accuracy is achieved.

I find that really interesting marksman, i have a 223 that seems to react to every different distance, projectile or powder, by shooting further or not so far to the right. Really noticeable if its next to another 223. It groups around half moa, but as the distance increases it sends them alot further right than any other 223
