[QUOTE="westcliffe01, post: 806759, member: 35183"] Have you shot other boat tail bullets out this rifle ? Another poster on here had a terrible time trying to shoot Berger Bullets and later found he could shoot flat base bullets fine. Apparently that points to a throat that is too large in diameter and results in erratic performance with BT bullets. You might try some lighter boat tail bullets like the 185 or 190 Bergers and then compare to similar weight flat base bullets. At [url=http://www.bulletsamples.com/]Bullet Samples for Sportsmen Rifles[/url] you can buy small qty's of bullets for this type of testing. Of course flat base bullets are not good for long range shooting and fixing this issue means another barrel, but at least you will know and can decide how to deal with it. [/QUOTE]
