[QUOTE="Idaho Hunter1, post: 2236604, member: 110057"] Trying to figure this one out, 6.5SAUM with 1/7.5tw and the 129 Absolute Hammers are not grouping. The rifle is shooting Barnes 127LRX and Hornady 143 ELD-X into sub-half and usually quarter minute groups with H1000 or RL26, ADG brass, CCI or FGMM magnum, COAL 2.845”. Neck tension is .0035 but have tried .002-.004 and it worked fine. Loves them all. I’ve tried these above combinations of powders, primers, and also RL23 and am getting 4” groups at 100yds. Worked up to pressure after consulting with Butter Bean and others and have it humming along between 3150-3425fps and still groups don’t tighten up. I’ve cleaned the barrel, nothing. Changed optics, nothing. Run COAL from 2.790-2.850 and the same thing. I can’t reduce the jump anymore due to SA mag limits (no Wyatts). Neck tension has been varied between .002-.004 So has anyone else had this issue? Any ideas? Im about ready to hang them up. [/QUOTE]
