[QUOTE="agrodgers, post: 1458701, member: 46003"] So I finally had time to do a "little" reloading and then head to the range. I picked up some Partitions in 140gr (that's what they had in stock) for a ladder test. I found a pretty good node across ~1gr range...but the second part of the experiment was shooting between 200 & 300yds and seeing the affect. As the speed increased, the vertical alignment straightened out. At the low end of the ladder I was seeing the horizontal movement at a little under 4" but as I progressed I got to vertical alignment with some shots (due to user error :-( ) shooting a little left & right of the center line. Based on this I think that there is a combo of issues with this particular rifle. The speed needs to be sufficient for the heavier bullets & I need a little more forgiving round. The ELD-X's are too finicky for this barrel. One other thing I noticed was that during the ladder test my slower shots started out on the lower right side of the target and then progressed up and towards the left. I've never seen this before (all other tests I've ever run have been more vertical or slightly low left to upper right). Maybe I'm just trying to convince myself that there is an additional correlation but what to others see when they run their tests? In any case, I've got some 140 AB's ordered and I'll finish up working things out in time to take this out for Elk in Oct. Thanks for the feedback and suggestions! [/QUOTE]
