[QUOTE="Long Time Long Ranger, post: 661934, member: 505"] Looking back through my notes with the Nosler accubond bullet it likes to be seated within .005" of the lands and loaded to top velocities between 3200-3250 fps. Any faster or further from the lands in this rifle and velocity spreads increase and groups spread. Looking back on the testing to this point one of the primary things I see is that the rifle shoots well with several different top bullets. So no matter which bullet a hunter prefers to shoot in it a top load can be produced. On some days my loads matched the conditions and I was able to hit on some extremely consistent loads with both accuracy and velocity spreads. The same loads with different conditions may perform slightly to much differently. The best target shooters keep exceptional notes and can match loads to range conditions for best results. As hunters and this is a hunting rifle we do not have that luxury. All we can hope for is to match a load that is the most stable in a wide array of conditions. This rifle has shown the ability to shoot many loads well with different bullets and powders. That is the best you can hope for in a hunting type rifle. [/QUOTE]
