[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 68263, member: 313"] The rifle shoots slightly better when bullets are seated .005" into the rifling even though the SD is [b]MUCH[/b] higher. As of yet, I haven't figured out why this rifle refuses to shoot. Best single 3-shot group was .70 @ 200 yds. I've been talking to John Hoover who suggested that I get the SD down to 4 - 7 before I worry about anything else. Now I've got brass sorted into 5 piles and am putting bullets under the microscope.

The odd thing is that my 7STW Sendero (custom job) [b]easily[/b] outshoots the 16.5lb 6.5x284 and it it gets single digit SD with Reminton factory brass which is prepped but not sorted.
