[QUOTE="dok7mm, post: 1221781, member: 90080"] Jud, just a thought, but are you tracking your velocity? If I'm getting flyers when the shot felt good, the first thing I check for is a sizable increase or decrease in speed. Sometimes, it is a variance in neck tension or as ShootnMathews said, it's just the bullet. I had your exact problem with 175 eld-x in a 9 twist 7RM. I was going crazy over flyers @ 100, just tried different powders and seating depths -- nothing worked. Finally, I tried the best load @ 200. I had three touching and two out, both were 1.5" out and keyholed. This rifle shot 180 vlds under 1/2 moa, but would not stabilze the 175 @ 1500' elevation. One thing I noticed was that I was getting a lot of coppering with the eld-x and practically none with 168 and 180 Bergers. I just gave up on shooting the bullet I thought would be The One. [/QUOTE]
