I recently loaded some new barns x long range bullets for my 300win sendero.
Used RL 22 and wlrm primers.
Well crappy results shots @ 100 yards are 10" to left of poa and then 6" high on second shot and 3 shot did not even hit target.
My barns book dose not have load data for than new bullet it only has data for the standard xlc bullet.
I have some loaded up with mag pro and 7828ssc but have noy shot them yet.

What did i do wrong or is it just a picky gun.
It shoots 185 bergers @.75 moa
210 bergers @.55 moa
180 brans @.75.
Shoots accubonds good but they do not have good results with putting animals down so i do not shoot them any more.
And all 180 grain factory loads well.
 
I'm shooting them with great results. The load I'm using is 70.5 grains of H4831SC with 215M primers in Winchester brass. They seem to shoot a lot better with a big jump in my Cooper. I tried the Barnes recommended seating depths (.030-.070) and they were ok, but not great. I loaded some to the standard length of 3.340" and they shot great. I extended that out a bit to account for throat erosion over time. I think my seating depth is ~.110 from the lands.

Thanks I will try that . Barns x emailed me back and told me to try different powder and seat them dealer to jump to the lands??
