[QUOTE="Sneekeehunter, post: 1227598, member: 85755"] I feel your pain!!! I'm 99% sure it's a brass issue combined with a bullet issue. I have several friends who work for GW and have spoke with them about these issues. They are having better luck and consistency with the 162grn eld-x's. I'm not sure if I mentioned it above but you have to weigh and sort the 175's. They're vastly inconsistent. Then there's the brass issue. We all know Hornady is not know for quality brass. Well they've really dropped the ball with this brass. I've noticed major differences in neck tension on my loads. I'm using a 313 bushing from recommendations of GW. I'm going to start neck turning and possibly annealing them to see if I can resolve that. I might even scrap the thought of shooting the 175's and just stick with the vld's for now. I might try the 175 NABLR's. I'm going to load up one more round of the 175's this week and if they don't shoot I'm scrapings them. It's weird tho that they shoot vertically very well and they shoot 1/4moa at 500...that's what really boggles me... [/QUOTE]
