wierd fliers

Hey guys, I went to my second match this last weekend and am shooting a 6br in a Savage. My last 2 targets were about 4in but with the fliers stretched out to 8.5 and 15in. Both of the fliers were low left. I am just wondering what I can do to fix my problem. Thanks guys.
 
More info would be helpful, like type of bullet & grs, distance, bench set-up & wind for a
start.

DITTO! I'm going to assume (gosh I hate that word) you were shooting at 1K. Also, what did the rest of your targets look like? Insufficent info posted to help at this point.
 
Sorry it took so long but I had to get home to take some pictures. Anyways to answer all your questions, I was shooting at 1k, I am shooting 105 HPBT Hornadys, my bench setup is a "JAK" rest that I bought off of a sponsor here with a SEB front bag and a Edgewood Gator in the rear. The wind was about 3mph right to left. Here are the 3 targets

Sorry for the crappy pictures. :-[
 
If conditions were that nice and there was no tail wind to attribute that vertical to you may want to try re-tuning the load using a ladder test to find where the best powder charge window is to get rid of that vertical then it looks like it may turn out to be a good shooter for you.
Also nothing against the Hornady's but you may also want to try a box of Sierra 107's jumped .015 off the lands just for a cursory bullet test to see if your barrel prefers them since they are very tolerant and generally shoot very well for most shooters.
