    This, good Sir, is your problem!!! I am sorry, but that is crap ammo and the Winchester is high priced Milsurp IMHO! Try "Remington 168gr Premiere Match 168gr SMKBTHP" or "Federal Gold Medal Match 168gr SMKBTHP". The ten minutes of cooling in between groups is good, but also give some time in between shots to cool too. The thinner your barrel, the more cooling time. Good luck
