[QUOTE="Sparkyaber, post: 699101, member: 54291"] I also shot this weekend, and probably not coincidentally, my best groups were with Hornady custom SST's 165 grain and fusion 165 grain. I tried shooting and leaving for 10 min. Did not make any difference. 3rd shot was off. I even shot a 4 round group with the first two rounds almost in the same hole 3rd shot off by 1.5 inches, and just for the heck of it I fired one more only to have it go right back into the first two holes, so close it looks like only 2 rounds were fired. I was chalking this up to it being in my head, until I read Spittle's post, I did notice that I was having a hard time seating it into the lead sled. My buddy said it felt really "loose" on the sled. I shot his 270wsm model 70 with federal fusions and had just over a one inch group on a rifle I had never shot before. On one other note- Most of my groups were really close, most with the 3rd flier, with the exceptions of with two factory loads, Hornady Superformance 165 grain SST's and Remington premier core-lokt ultra 150 grain ultra bonded PSP. Both of these produced horrible groups. I actually shot multiple groups with both hornady rounds thinking there could not be that much difference between the two. Does anyone know what is the difference between the superformance and the custom from hornady? My next step is to let a friend of mine who shoots almost daily take the gun for a week and see what he can do with it. This may or may not remove my human error factor. [/QUOTE]
