[QUOTE="lseberly, post: 863120, member: 52328"] New here but getting grey hairs over the LRX 168 Barnes in my Rem 700, 280 AI. with a new Shilen, 1 in 9 barrel. although have shot many rounds trying to get it right. It shoots 2 inch groups with 160 Accubonds and the 168 Berger VLD in same point of aim at 200 yds. The LRX has keyholed 3 different sessions on the range with 3 different seating depths. Tried .010, .030 and .050 searching for a place to start tweaking but keyholed each time. Talked to a Berger Tech and asked me to double check barrel twist. Did that and confirmed 1 in 9 inches. Been reloading since 15 years old and never had a puzzle this hard to figure out. Yes have cleaned and kept copper out so don't start with obvious stuff if you have any suggestions. Thanks, Puzzled Farmer in Pa. [/QUOTE]
