[QUOTE="PapaSmurff, post: 2502632, member: 118512"] Thanks for the comment tygr. And yes I totally agree that elevation is a key factor when it comes to bullet stability for certain. However, I live close to Texarkana Tx. My shooting bench is at 237ft above sea level; not much elevation at all. But the 181's seem to be performing exactly as designed and I'm also able to shoot great groups with Berger's 230 grain OTM bullets too at this altitude from the bench all the way out to 1,000 yards. So my guess is that its just a fluke barrel; could probably buy several more of the exact same barrel and none of them would probably be able to stabilize the 181 Hammers or the 230 Bergers either I'm betting.. But I'm not complaining and it kind of goes to show that you never really know for certain if your bullets will stabilize in slightly slower than rated twist barrels or not until you test them I guess.
