[QUOTE="Prieto9000, post: 1161280, member: 24952"] I've used hornady SST, swift sirocco II, and factory remington express 100gr ammo on the heavy side and the best accurracy was with the sst with not so great 1.5"-1.75" groups. I normally seat my bullets .005"-.010" off the lands if the mag allows it, which in this case it did. 75gr A-Max's printed 0.5" groups most of the time so I can't say the rifle is not accurrate. My only logical explanation is that a 1:10 barrel can't stabilize bullets correctly. Berger twist rate calculator says I can't use anything heavier than 87gr from their line of bullets. [/QUOTE]
