[QUOTE="quigley257, post: 1952593, member: 84442"] I just got home from shooting. Rifle is a Remington 700 Gen 1 Sendero that was originally a 25-06 Rem and is now a 280 AI with 25.5" 1/8.5 twist barrel. Just because I was given some, I loaded up some 180gr Berger VLDHs with IMR 7828. I was pleasantly surprised with the way they shot. I ordered the barrel as an 8.5 twist in anticipation of running heavier bullets. Unfortunately nothing has shot well other than 150gr NBTs up to this point. The 180s are now begging for more tweaking. Two, 3-shot groups at 100 yards. One before and one after scope adjustments. [/QUOTE]
