[QUOTE="QuietTexan, post: 2069707, member: 116181"] Yeah, I think at this point you need a major component change. Either a different powder with the ABLRs, or drop down to the 195 ELD-M and see if those tune better. I checked the Nosler load data, if you were at 77gr H1000 under the 210 ABLR, you were over 100% load density. The table lists H4831SC at 69.5 gr/ 93% as the most accurate powder, meaning that got better results with a faster, less dense load.
