54 cal

What type of sights? If you are shooting iron sights and it is a sunny, and the sun behind you and high, it can make your group off to one side or another. Say the sun is on your left side and high behind you. The left side of the front sight is illuminated. You will put the bright side in the center and it will cause you to shoot to the side. People shooting in competition will put "sight black" on the front sight so it is a even black sight. You would not think it would make a difference but it does. Since you were shooting a good group I would look at this or perhaps a consistent jerk or flinch.

Remington 700 .54 - I shoot the Barnes solid Copper Expander in either 275 grain or 325 grain.

My uncle has the same gun as you and I am trying to get him to switch over to the barnes copper expanders too, how do they shoot? I love the barnes t-ez out of my 50 cal. was shooting 2 inch groups at 80.

I put a scope on mine for the purposes of picking loads and bullet selection.  I had it inside 2 inches at 110 yards, but I can't remember if I was inside an 1.5".  When I reverted back to open sites for the purposes of practicing and hunting, my groups got bigger.  I can't get the groups that tight purely based on my skill level.  I haven't tested the grouping of the 325 grain yet as they were back ordered when I had my scope mounted, but is on my itinerary for this summer at least with open sites.  for clarification I use a Williams Peep site.
