[QUOTE="nksmfamjp, post: 2748270, member: 1951"] Barnes LRX 175’s - Could have been my rifle. They were so bad that they have changed my load development methods. If I shoot looking for pressure, 8 - 12 shots over a variety of charge weights, and the group of all is over say 1.5”, I’m done. These were about 2.5”. I worked on charge weight and seating depth until I got a 0.3” 3 shot group. I shot 5 groups of 5 of that load. all were over 1.25”. The composite group was probably 3”. Dang! Hammers put the initial ladder under 0.75”! SST’s - Well, I have seen them blow up at ~2800fps and at 2500fps. So, let’s say they are good under 2200fps and Hornady says the min velocity is 1800fps. That seems like a narrow range! Too many other choices. Anything with a lead tip….I hate seeing those smacked up in the mag. Bergers have always shot well for me, but kind of explosive. I would use again. Trying CX, ELD-X, and Hammers now. [/QUOTE]
