[QUOTE="RCMSTER, post: 2800792, member: 54689"] So, I’m trying to sort out a problem. I keep saying I’m done trying to get this bullet to shoot, but then I keep coming back, perhaps for more punishment. The rifle is a 1-8 twist 25-06. Bullet is a 116 gr hammer. Currently using 52 grains of Reloader 26. Accuracy at 100 is on average 3/4” for a 3-4 shot group, but at 200, accuracy is in the 3-4” range. Not near good enough for me. My question is whether a different powder could potentially have a positive effect on this problem, or not. In my mind, seems like if a certain bullet is grouping at 3/4” @ a hundred, then, a powder change wouldn’t fix this, but I could be totally full of bologna, which is why I’m posing the question here. Thank you. [/QUOTE]
