[QUOTE="orch, post: 1063456, member: 35688"] More specifically 7mm 150gr version.... A buddy and I have tried this bullet in 3 different guns, a 280 improved with a custom barrel, a 7mm stw with a custom barrel and a factory savage 7mm rem mag. We can't seem to get them to shoot accurately in any of the three rifles, and all three are known to be accurate guns (sub moa with other loads), the best we can seem to get is 1 1/2 to 2" groups with the majority of the test loads in the 2 to 4" range at 100yrds... We are seeing good results as far as extreme spreads over the chronograph and velocities are what we were expecting to see with the loads we tried... One of my 7mm rem loads had an ES of 10 but a 100yrd group of 2.5" Are these bullets really sensitive to seating depth like bergers have a reputation for? Do they prefer seating into the lands? That may be part of the problem with the stw as it has a long throat and the bullet wouldn't even begin to seat in the case mouth if the bullet was to be seated at the lands... With my 7mm rem I started test loads with a 0.060" jump and can make it to the lands but will end up having less than half the case neck length contacting the bearing surface of the bullet.... Has anyone else had any experiences getting these things to shoot? Any input would be appreciated Orch [/QUOTE]
