[QUOTE="Les in Wyoming, post: 2067977, member: 115820"] I am still trying to work a load with these ABLR in 210. I have tried seating depths from .021 to .110. They are all over the place. I got one OK group in .039. So I experimented with .037 and .041. They were radically way different. So I tried some more in .039 and they didn't all group. Got one OK group and some horrible. Exact same load, off sand bag bench. I also back off a couple tenths. Groups were worse. So I found the seating depth of .085 shot a slightly sub-moa. But .090 was horrible as was .080. So I worked up loads of .082 and .083. Also tried some with lower powder. Same thing. You would think they were shot out of different rifles. The exact same .085 load did not duplicate any kind of group again either. This is really frustrating. I have had a lot of trouble with this Bergara rifle. It took a lot to get close to finding a load with Hornady 208 Gr bullets. But then I ran low on Hornady's. I can get Noslers, so I thought I needed to try them. The way it does not even repeat the same load makes me lose all confidence in the gun altogether. I am almost afraid to shoot some of my Hornady loads lest it does the same. I have had this happen before, where a super accurate load "changes" for whatever reason. This gun is so finicky, I don't need to go through this again. If anyone can tell me ANYTHING, I would be much obliged. I bought some 210 Gr Bergers, but I don't want to go through this anymore. Nor do I want to shoot up the whole box chasing another load.
