[QUOTE="JKRamsey1991, post: 1733026, member: 111615"] With the GMM I shot I think 3 groups of 5 the other five shots were used to establish zero. All groups were of similar size but I did not record them for statistical analysis. I have tried mainly hornady and sierra bullets. 195 gr ELDs and and the 212 gr ELDx for hornady. Sierra I believe I tried some 180gr game king and a 165 gr game king I believe. All were between 1.5-2MOA. I dont have any Berger bullets in my stash as of yet was hoping to find something a little less pricey that had acceptable accuracy. I have not noticed any scope issues. Scope has tracked very true with all adjustments and I have verified torque on all associated mount screws. The twist on the barrel is 1-10 as well. I have not done full ladder testing on any bullet yet. Tried 2 loads of H1000 and 2 loads of 7828SSC for the 195 gr ELDs. In the past I try a few middle of the road test loads and find what seems to show signs of working and then ladder test from there. So far haven't found anything that's super impressive as of yet. Reloading has been using once fired federal brass from this rifle, trimmed to length and only neck sizing. [/QUOTE]
