[QUOTE="BrentM, post: 794375, member: 61747"] Kind of thinking the same thing plus the 100 yard grouping is not the best for LR bullets, which you are not shooting. I have shot real tight groups at 100 to have them open at 200. I have shot crap at 100 and had them super tight at 200 and beyond. I think most real serious LR guys shoot 500 yard groups minimum. I also think they look for a bullet designed for the twist of the barrel, FPS, and down range capability. 300WM seems to really like a 190-210 grain bullet. Long, sleek, and high BC. Back to the topic of 1.25" at 100. Have you tested the seating depth to see if they settle down? Something like 25 50 75 100 125 off the lands or 30 60 90 120 etc. [/QUOTE]
