[QUOTE="stonehands1, post: 1086424, member: 88929"] Have a 6mmAI with 28" Benchmark barrel on a Mauser action. Seems like a well put together rifle. Very nice trigger and seems to shoot pretty good. But not as good as I hoped or expected. I bought the rifle used so not sure of round count but would guess 6-800. Have a Leupold vx3 LR with the varmiter reticle on it. I reload and have done everything as perfect as possible to make sure every round is identical. I am considered a very good paper shooter by my shooting buddies and have no problem shooting .250 groups repeatedly with rifles that are capable. But this rifle seems to be my nemesis. After 150 rounds trying to get the 87 grain vmax to shoot the same hole I'm about to go crazy. Have found that 49 grains of vv160 is right at the max and also most accurate. .030 off the lands is where this bullet likes to be. Almost every group looks like the one pictured below. I put 2 in the same hole or close to it and then 2 or 3 more in a different hole a half inch or so away. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. [/QUOTE]
