[QUOTE="emp1953, post: 2234289, member: 71817"] I am shooting a SIG 970shr .270Win with a 1:10 twist. I have a pet load of 51.4gr IMR4350, 150gr Nosler ABLR ( one inch at 225yds) CCI200 primers, New Federal cases. (150 gr Nosler partitions give 1.6 inch at 225 yds) Both are around 2900fps. Given pandemic shortages, and no availability of Nosler bullets I picked up 2 boxes of Hammer Hunters 156gr and 2 boxes 140gr. I backed off the powder a bit for the 156's fiddled with powder and seating depth and couldn't get any good groups. I moved to the 140's and immediately hit a node which is better than my one inch at 225yds. Could the fact that the 156's are longer than the Nosler 150gr ABLRS and make the 1:10 twist barrel unable to stabilize them? Just wondering. I'm happy with the 140's and will be hunting with them.
