[QUOTE="Bret GRAVELINE Graveline, post: 2210539, member: 108926"] Don't be afraid to try a different primer, I used to dabble in a occasional bench rest shoot and have been a hardcore harasser of prairie dogs and rock chucks for over 40 Years, having owned a fair share of one holers from 222 thru 6.5-284 I've found that a simple primer change could cut that group in half, bench rest primers don't always produce the tightest groups, have you tried shooting groups at 2 or 3 hundred yards? 1 of my 6.5-284s with a 1-7 twist would only produce 5 to 6 tenths groups at 100 yrs, this rifle weighed over 20 lbs and was fitted with a 42# nightforce scope, I tried every Sierra match king and Berger bullet I could get my hands on from 107 to 155 gr, it was only after I found that my groups fired on the 300 yard range were the same size as those i was getting at 100 yards did I learn to like that rifle, I have great results with benchmark and find 133 and 135 although this was with lighter bullets than you are shooting, good luck, [/QUOTE]
