Or, even better, advice for how to train out of this sudden, severe, inexplicable rut?
One bad practice is not a rut. With that kind of negative talk in your head your destined for another bad practice.
Sometimes it is better to go home. Usually the fundamentals can get me back on track, but if frustration has set in, it's time to call it a day. and it sounds like you were frustrated

While it's typically the shooter, it's possible it's the gun or the ammo. Check your ammo and components closely and maybe pull a few or if factory try a new lot (or if reloading try some factory). Check your sights aren't moving around. Check nothing major wrong with gun/bore (and it would have to be MAJOR to open it up to 7" @ 15yd).

Have you sandbagged the gun before and what kind of accuracy did you get? Your statement implies you expect more because it's a sig, not because you have previous data points (and experience shooting off bags).
