[QUOTE="Stammster, post: 1969062, member: 114381"] I should have mentioned, these will be used in my groundhog gun (1980’s Rem 700 heavy barrel with a Japanese 6-24X Tasco World Class) - with a mission of 1/2 MOA to 400 yds. Here is the group I shot the other day. It opened up with the magnetospeed on to about 0.75 MOA. I also could not duplicate the load with the new 100 gr Nosler BT’s, as they opened up also, even with variance in charge weights and seating depths on both sides of my original load. However, everything this gun shoots is still sub 0.8 MOA, no matter the bullet, powder charge, or seating depth, factory ammo, etc. Note: This load was developed in the early 90’s with the original style of thin jacket NBT bullets. After measuring them, they are also dimensionally different. Plus I never had the fancy equipment and techniques I use now. I.e. Trimmed shorter than would fit in a simple flat cartridge gauge - with many below the SAAMI min trim length, manual scale, standard RCBS dies, no case tumbler, brass FL resized to full camover, no calipers, etc. In fact, I don’t remember doing a lot of load development as I just copied what a buddy of mine was using for powder type/charge in his Ruger #1 heavy bbl, with seating depth for my gun and bullets based off a sooted bullet.
