[QUOTE="RB II, post: 2755159, member: 124418"] I have a few, all hunting rifles. Nosler M48 270 1-10 twist shooting the handloaded 150 ABLR to just over 1/2", generally 2 in one hole and the third just outside that. Adding the 124 Hammer Hunter to it's list. Thinking they will be lazers. Pretty much the same for a Savage 116 1-8 twist in 6.5-284 and Nosler Trophy Grade 130 AB ammo. It shoots the factory ammo as good/better than I can reload for it and super accurate out to 700 yds. Hoping to make a trip for antelope soon with this rifle. Rem 700 varmint .223 1-12 twist, so only light bullets, that I was never satisfied with the accuracy. Stainless with 26" fluted bbl. Tried a whole bunch of factory stuff, but none shot extremely well. Tried to sell it several times and no takers. Finally reloaded for it after a few years of mediocrity, 55 grain SMKs with H 4198 was the ticket. 5 shots in a dime sized clover leaf pattern. It is headed to South Dakota the end of May to chase down a whole bunch of PDs. Probably won't be up for sale again any time soon. Latest to the stable is a Bergara B14 Hunter grade in 300 WM shooting 180 AccuBonds 3 shots into literally one ragged hole. I am working on more of the same load and a range trip to verify that load, but fairly certain it is a stone shooter. **** thing kicks like crazy but is very light and is a perfect hunting rifle. Bought a brake for it, but may not install it, shoots too good to mess it up. [/QUOTE]
