[QUOTE="Alibiiv, post: 2295581, member: 69192"] I have a bunch of .30 caliber 180, 190 and I "think" 210gr (?) ABLRs, that I am having trouble getting to group also. I have two custom built Ruger 77s with Lilja 1-10 barrels, one in 30-06 and the other in 300 WinMag that I have been having trouble to group. I have two other Ruger 77s that were built by the same gunsmith that will group 11/2 inch at 300 yards, so....not too certain that there is a build problem??? These bullets were all purchased from SPS and were considered to be their "BLEMS"; all I can/could find in today's market. I decided that I would try a ladder group of 5 rounds per powder weight with .5 grain increments of 4831SC. I also decided that I would weigh the bullets to eliminate the weight factor variable. While weighing the bullets I found that I had to go through the entire 100 bullets to find 20 bullets that all weighed the same. The particular batch that I weighed varied as much as .5 grains. I was not worried too much about the .1-.2gr bullets, however .4-.5 grains have me concerned a bit. I am not certain if this is the problem with grouping for me, but...certainly something that I am considering. As for the jump, I don't have a whole lot of latitude in this area due to being restricted with the 3.340 magazine box. It also could still be barrel break in???? I hope this might shed some light on your situation, and good luck getting your rifle to group. With the shortage of components it is tough chasing down a problem and using up scarce components.
