[QUOTE="HNDLDR, post: 971696, member: 81622"] UPDATE...... For anyone who's still interested, I suspected neck tension in the lot of Hornady brass I was using was the cause of my accuracy problems. Due to lack of readily available 25-06 brass I sized and trimmed a box of Rem 270 cases and a box of Win 30-06 cases. I've loaded several different brands and weights of bullets with IMR 4831 and 7828ssc. This morning I made quick trip and tested the 115 gr Berger and the 100 gr Barnes TTSX. Out of four, four shot groups three came in under an inch. The group of the day ended up being Rem case 115 Berger over 4831. Three shots clover leafed into .291" the fourth opened things up to .75" (probably my fault). Any of these loads I feel could be fine tuned to do better. I still have several other loads to test but things so far have improved significantly. This is more what I expected from the Browning instead of the 1.5 to 2.0" groups I was getting. Thanks again for all of your help and suggestions. [/QUOTE]
