[QUOTE="azsugarbear, post: 1655181, member: 4809"] I have found peculiarities in several of my rifles - things that just can't be explained. I have taken to calling them "gremlins in the system". I had Kirby Allen build me a custom 6.5-06 AI back in 2009. It was designed with a 1 in 8 twist barrel to shoot heavier bullets - specifically the Berger 140 VLD's. Try as I might, I just could not get the accuracy I new the rifle was capable of with those bullets. I finally switched to the 130 gr. accubond and started shooting 1/2 MOA with two different powders. I developed a second load with 160 gr. Matrix VLD's. Same results. Just for grins and giggles, I went back to the 140 gr. Bergers. Nope. My rifle just didn't like them. There is no logical reason why I can't feed this rifle a diet of Berger VLD's. It's just gremlins in the system. [/QUOTE]
