[QUOTE="Hbb6601, post: 552874, member: 31743"] Well just got back from the range and I'm guessing it was stabilization problem. Worst 100 group of 8 different loads was .75" and best was .23". I took the one that was .23" and shot it at 300 yards (80 degrees with no wind) and shot a .85" group. It shot best with 52.7 gr Retumbo seated at the lands (sp?). Not quite the speed I was hoping for but it will work - 3120 fps with Berger 105 VLD's. It shot about .5" at 100 with a load running 3215 but I would rather shoot 100 fps slower and shoot bugholes. Also used Retumbo and BR-2 primer and had no problems with deviation, max deviation today was 16 fps with my end load. I'm happy now! On another note is any one shooting the 115 VLD's from a 1 and 8 twist and having good luck or do you need a 1 in 7 or 1 in 7.5? [/QUOTE]
