Well I was working on loads for my new addition to my elk rifles. N570 was working great. 195's were averaging 3,026 fps with ES of 8 SD of 2 at 0.35 moa, 180 Hybrid's were 3,106 average about the same ES & SD at 0.40 moa. Then I found a pound of Retumbo I didn't know I had. All I had. So what the heck loaded a ladder. Found a great node at the high side. Played with the seating depth a little but went straight to the seating depth I had the 180's at on the N570 and Bam! 0.15 moa. That was 0.005" off the lands. So I loaded up 5 more to touching the lands....Boom! Same location 0.033" 4 shot group. So I cleaned my barrel cause that was like round 25 since cleaned. Cleaned it used the one I didn't shoot and 2 others to get back to it. Cooled the barrel in the AC and shot another 3 shot group at 0.160 moa.
