[QUOTE="whitetailjunkee, post: 2540511, member: 33065"] Maybe try a Sierra or other 200 grain bullet or any of the ELD bullets in that 200-220 range. I have had a few rifles that would only shoot heavier bullets for the caliber and it looks like you have only gone up to 180. I have always had luck with heavier bullets in my rifles as a general statement, specifically when my muzzle velocity has been around 2,800 FPS. I know magnums are supposed to like full loads going fast but I have had many rifle’s groups tighten up at that magic 2,800 FPS number for some reason. I specifically had a Remington in 264 Winchester that would only shoot 160 grain round nose Hornady bullets. I tried every 140 on the planet and at best was getting 1.5” - 2” groups. It shot those 160 grain RN in the same hole or a clover leaf regardless of powder type or load. So sometimes a change in bullet weight can make all the difference. It’s worth trying at this point I think. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
