1. shooter
2. handloads and the related charge, speed, seating depth and bullet
3. wind
4. model, twist and barrel and trigger
5. maintenance and gun improvements, i.e bedding
6. telling the truth

Don't cherry pick targets for display and posting. Be honest. I doubt whether anyone will denigrate someone's poorer shooting or think less of the shooter. If they do, F 'em.

As stated above, trial and error will get you to the end of the road, maybe before you need a new barrel and have to start all over again and maybe not.
