[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 845423, member: 10"] Not sure why this is happening but its a great "learning" moment for you and many others. LISTEN to your rifle. Load up at 2950 fps and start practicing at long range, you will NEVER know the difference between a 2950 and 3000 fps load at long range and neither will the animals. We can not always make a rifle do what we want and we can not always know exactly why a certain rifle is doing what its doing. But, its very clear that your rifle really likes the 2900-2950 fps range with the 150 gr Accubond. Generally, bullets will shoot better the faster they are driven as long as their jackets are strong enough to handle the rotational stresses. Have you tried any 150 gr Bergers to see if you get the same results. The Bergers generally are a bit faster as well so would give you a good idea if this is a bullet problem or a rifle problem. In all honesty, not sure there is any problem here anyway. [/QUOTE]
