[QUOTE="LVJ76, post: 2010436, member: 108965"] I was skeptical if I could stabilize the 180gr since Berger says 1:9 twist is optimal, I know not minimum but still. My Remington 700 has the 1:9.25 Alright so I went with 0.01 off the lands with RL23 and loaded up with 62.0gr, 62.5gr and 63.0gr. 62.0gr gave me the best group at 0 49" at 100 yds. 62.5gr opened up to 0.78" and 63.0gr opened up even more. Now I will try the 61.0gr at 0.02, 0.03 and 0.04 and see what happens. Thanks again everyone for all your advice and stay safe [ATTACH type="full" alt="20201029_214927.jpg"]222303[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
