[QUOTE="cooperjd, post: 2263288, member: 116132"] not consistently. The first time (couple weeks ago), that's exactly what it was doing. first 2 would be great, 3rd would be 2" left. That was 2 diff powder charges. I was really hopeful that it was just barrel heat and that they were actually good loads. so to test my 'barrel too hot' theory, yesterday i loaded up those same 2 recipes, and let the barrel cool between individual shots. in one case shots 1 and 4 were touching, but 2 and 3 were on either side for a 2+" horizontal string. Load 2 produced the first 2 shots touching but the third was again 2" or so left. My 6.5c was a little more finicky with the 123 AH's that i was hoping, but the last 2 range trips have been solidly 1/2"-3/4" which makes me happy. I have some 162 AH's I could try in the weatherby; but I'm going to try 4955 with the 178's before i switch bullets. [/QUOTE]
