[QUOTE="DJ Fergus, post: 1654046, member: 93895"] I was thinking today about something I ran into about 7-8 years ago when trying to work up a load for a 25-06 and have saw a similar thing happen with a 300 win mag. I was trying to get 1/2 moa three shot from a sporter rem 700 25-06 with 110 accubonds. Bedded & floated in a fiberglass stock. I never could do much better than 1.25 moa with those bullets in one setting or in one day. I now shoot 80gr Barnes into consistent sub .5 moa but don't really use the rifle much any more. I believe a combination of heat & not enough twist (factory 10 twist barrel) was contributing factors for lack luster performance with heavier bullets. What really bewildered me about the 110 accubonds & also 115 partitions in that rifle is that they would print near half moa on cold bore shots if I would make three separate cold bore shots over a course of three separate days, one shot per day. I repeated that @ 100 and also at 500 yds. And that was on an uncleaned overnight cold bore. Any thing more than one shot per day at I got 1.25 moa. I eventually went to the Barnes 80gr, shot great I and moved on. Have any of you fellows saw anything like that? [/QUOTE]
