[QUOTE="Idaho Hunter1, post: 2628169, member: 110057"] There are posts on these bullets elsewhere on the forum and I contributed to some of those. Don’t want to restate everything so bottom line was I could not get them to shoot better than 1” in any rifle I had. Those were all rifles that shot Nosler, Barnes, Berger and Sierra very well in the sub .5MOA with little effort. I tried the 6.5/.284/.308 variations in multiple platforms and it never worked out. I would always get a flyer in a 5 or 10 shot group. That is basically 5 cold bore shots and a follow up shot over the course of an afternoon. No rime or reason for the flyer. Happened in TLR and TA. I’m keeping the few boxes I have left as a backup for hunting use only. They will be fine inside 300yds but that was the limit of my trust in them because of groupings. Maybe the factory offerings work better, maybe in need more neck tension, maybe….but when the other bullets are so easy, why burn a barrel from a great builder chasing an equivalent result? That was where I landed. Having gotten feedback earlier on the thread of some success, maybe I’ll try them again. If I do, I’ll let y’all know. [/QUOTE]
