[QUOTE="BIG MO, post: 358867, member: 18994"] Based on my limited experience I feel its the long heavy for caliber bullets that may take more time to "go to sleep". Particularly the Berger VLD'S. Some of the rifles I've had experience with would put together sub .5 groups @ 100yds with regular mid weight boat tails but with the heaviest available bullet for that caliber it took a bunch of load development and range time to get that same rifle to squeek under 1 moa @ 100. But it would hold .7 moa @ 1000. Twist rates are probably a factor in all this also. A twist rate too fast or too slow would surely have some effect. [/QUOTE]
