[QUOTE="Double AA, post: 152619, member: 7726"] [b]Re: .257 Weatherby-110 gr. Accubond-RL25-What\'s not to like?[/b] If it consistently groups that small I wouldn't try anything else. I have one with a 24" barrel and have been chasing consistent groups for so long I finally quit. I'd get a 1/2" group followd by a 3" group. My highest velocity with a 100gr bullet is 3425 fps.

I do have a 7 STW that will shoot 1/2" groups with a 140gr bullet at around 3500 fps all day long. It kind of fills the spot. Anyways, congratulations, a 110gr bullet @ 3525 will shoot like the proverbial banjo string. Double AA [/QUOTE]
