[QUOTE="Rick Richard, post: 2258509, member: 75895"] Some barrels just don’t like what we think they should. That combo you are using should produce better groups than what you have indicated. I have never had great success with the Satterlee test alone. I have had better success finding the point of pressure and then backing down a grain or so. Here I shoot 3 shot groups in half grain increments to find the best group. I usually shoot about 20 - 30 thousands off the lands for this point in the tuning process. Once I have a good group, I fine tune with seating depth. Sorry for rambling. I am sure you know what you are doing. The only other thought is your barrel twist rate may not be adequate for that Hammer bullet. If you have not contacted Steve, I think that would be the best recommendation to resolve your issue.
