[QUOTE="65WSM, post: 917926, member: 9551"] Are you using a Wilson seating die? If you are not using a Wilson seating die then you are not using the most accurate system available. I will bet your bullets are being pushed into the case by the point. Do you know how to test this? Why are you using such fast powder. My 6.5-284 is a hunting rifle designed to shoot 130 Accubonds so it has a 9 inch twist. I shoot 130 Berger VLDs with it as well. I have a 6.5 WSM with a 8 twist that shoots the 140 Berger hunting VLDs. I also have a friend trim the points on these bullets to the same length. Again with Wilson tools. They shoot markedly better when trimed. Maybe a third less group size. If you look at the left orange dot (which is 1 inch in diameter) on the screen you will see bullet holes at 300 yards. That is with 140 Berger Hunting VLDs. Not bad for a 1885 Highwall in 6.5 WSM. Note the velocity too. [/QUOTE]
