[QUOTE="Ronald W Schaefer, post: 1688008, member: 109378"] I had my gunsmith turn me on to some great advice (after reloading for 40+ years). I was really trying to get Nosler Accubond bullet to shoot in my friend's .270, had gone through ladders with about five different powders, primers seating depths etc. and there was no help...all 1.25-1.5". Gunsmith checked the rifle over, said the problem was, I needed to solve for the bullet that rifle likes first. Pick a solid load out of the manual that works for the five or so bullets you want to test. One will clearly shoot better than others. Then work up the load with that bullet. I switched to Barnes TTSX and with no other changes it dropped to about .8 MOA. Now I select the bullets suitable for my purpose from various mfr. and shoot them using the same load. The one that shoots the best I proceed on with. Maybe swap out that Berger for Barnes or some other premium bullet. [/QUOTE]
