[QUOTE="Ghost7, post: 1078113, member: 89834"] Thanks all for input. To answer moombaskier the rifle is a Savage 12LRP and theis particular bullet is a 70 gr Nosler Ballistic Tip. In a previous thread I was having difficulty getting this rifle to group but have since, with much help from many on this forum, have been successful in grouping. This rifle likes the heavier bullets. I am still working on fine tuning those but was taking a mental break from that. I had a fairly new box of the 70 gr and wanted a different challenge to see if I could get them to shoot. The group sizes are ranging from 2.25" to .799". I have taken the .799" load and started extending the coal to see if I can improve on that load, hence the questions. I have gotten the Sierra 85 gr hpbt to group right at 1/3" kissing the lands but haven't got that far with the 70gr because I feel like I'm running out of neck. The 105 gr Amax is really long and have shot well kissing the lands as well. Being a 9.25 twist it may not like the 70's but I'm hearing of others getting the 55's to shoot extremely well. Thought I would at least give it a fair shake. [/QUOTE]
