[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 2682532, member: 313"] You'd be much better off going with a 50gr bullet if you are using a 14 twist bbl. Many of the 55gr bullets are just too long to stabilize in a 14 twist. "Pushing them hard" is really not that productive a method of getting a bullet to stabilize. You really need a faster twist to accommodate longer bullets. Use 40-50gr bullets and loads that can be found on Hodgdon's web site. As always, start low and work up as you look for accuracy.
