[QUOTE="Dr. Vette, post: 717094, member: 22335"] I had similar issues this fall using a few different bullets in Dad's 7mm Weatherby. Last year I installed it in a B&C Medalist, bedded it and floated it while this year I worked up a load. After working on loading for it every spare moment for 2 months with 160gr Accubonds and 168gr Bergers I tried the Barnes 150 grain TTSX in it at magazine length (3.360 total, though I measure each one to the ogive) and it was instantly Sub-MOA. Load is 75.0 grains of H-1000 though it's good from 74.7 to 75.5. The Barnes bullets are very consistent in weight and length, though I have had excellent results with even the few that are "less consistent" than the rest. Give them a try and see how they work for you. FYI I was told - and read - that rifles like or don't like bullets and that powders can then be used to fine tune a load. I have to say that with this rifle I completely agree with that. Below are 100 yard targets from 74.7, 75.0, 75.5 and 76.0 grains. The 74.7 was a "sight in" load but obviously still within this load's potential. [/QUOTE]
