[QUOTE="Wachsmann, post: 1166542, member: 10429"] Man it took me the longest time to ever get out and do some testing. I started off with what I remember from my hunting load of 49.5 grains of hybrid 100V seated at 3.110 COAL (berger 140's). Also I had cleaned this gun very very well. I think previous I had got some copper fouling that was not fully coming out or something since after the good cleaning I got my groups back. Hitting right at the .6MOA a 100 for 5 shot group. This is just putting the calibers on the outside to outside. These were berger 140VLD's. Next load was 57grn retumbo finding a seating depth on the LRAB's. I think I may have sorted these bullets by weight and ogive length to the best that I could sort. Bergers are just pulled from the box. Anyways I know the 57 grns retumbo was getting right around 2950fps prior during some testing. Started right at the lands like .oo5 off. Jumped .010 at a time cleaning(bore snake) after every 4 shot group. After shooting 24 rounds. I had one group that produced a good .65moa at 100yrds like the bergers. Funny thing is they are about .010 or .020 longer at the ogive then my berger load. Their almost are about the same COAL difference in length. I'm going to do the same test with the bergers next and the retumbo to see if I can get the same results. If possible I'll have 2 good loads well really 3 for hunting considering the 2 different powders used. I'll just have to live without the extra 100 fps if need to.
