[QUOTE="DJ Fergus, post: 1715721, member: 93895"] I I load mostly target bullets, but I have saw regular hunting bullets shot from some of my rifles get really unstable out past 400. Would shoot good @ 400 then get wild. For the same token, I had a rifle that would shoot hunting bullets into a horrible group at 400 and actually settle down @ 500 yards. I sold that rifle. It was a 270wsm xbolt. I believe that in certain circumstances bullets can destabilize at certain distances even when you have adequate twist for the bullet. I have my opinions why this may happen, over deformation of bullet due to barrel condition, bullet construction itself way out of concentric balance, etc.... Probably to many what ifs to list. I don't spend alot of time trouble shooting like I used to. Now days I am pretty quick to move on. [/QUOTE]
