[QUOTE="Calvin45, post: 1616829, member: 109862"] It’s certainly not typical for short light bullets to tolerate jump better than heavier ones, that’s kinda weird. Only way I see that being the reason might be a case neck concentricity issue - but that’s based purely on hypothetical reasoning, no experience to base this on. What twist? If the rifle has excessive freebore/a long throat, flat base bullets are in general less sensitive to jump (and everything else regarding internal ballistics) than boat tails. The comments about light barrels whipping harder with heavy loads are certainly apt and worth exploring. Finally, this may seem obvious, it could just be that the rifle doesnt like the particular heavyweight bullets you fed it for reasons other than weight. Have you observed this affinity for 165s and aversion for 180+ with a variety of projectiles of each weight? [/QUOTE]
