I have a 30-338 lapua that I am working up a load using the 240G Sierra bullet. I have been using IMR7828 and am getting 2800 to 2850 FPS out of it but it is a good news bad news scenario the good news is its on the paper the bad news is its all over the paper. It probably has a 6" spread. The bullet also looks like it is either tumbling or wobbling as it does not cut a clean smooth round hole. My question is am I running this bullet through a barrel that is putting too much spin? What are thoughts to correct this.
I do not have the bullet right up in the lands and maybe that is part of the problem but my first thought was am I asking something out of the barrel its not designed to do.
All suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Thanks
