[QUOTE="rscott5028, post: 470463, member: 24624"] I've experienced frustration trying to shoot VLDs from a slow twist barrel before. But, 12 inches at 100yds is rediculous. Did you seat them upside down? ... just kidding. But seriously, something is bad wrong. I would check concentricity of any rounds you still have loaded and then pull the bullets and start again. What do the groups look like? horizontal? vertical? completely random? After it cools, does it go back to the original cold bore POI? How's the velocity spread? Do the bullets visually appear to be consistent before loading them? Do the weights vary much? Are you loading single shot or via the magazine? Could the magazine be messing with the tips? How's your neck tension? Did your brass somehow not get sized properly? That happened to me once with a Lee Collet sizer that I assumed was still set correctly. Neck tension was super sloppy and was accentuated by the grooves in the Barnes bullets I was using. Velocity was all over the place. 3" groups. Let us know what you find. I'm keen to know how that happened. Thanks, Richard [/QUOTE]
