[QUOTE="Clucknmoan, post: 1353285, member: 80034"] After checking optics and everything WeiserBucks suggested, I'd give Krieger a call and let them know what you've tried. They will either have some suggestions or tell you to send it to them. They don't get that type of reputation from not taking care of their customers. They want it to shoot too. Have no personal experience with an 8.5 twist, but all the 8 twists I have been around shot 56.5 grains of Retumbo, 140 Bergers (Hybrid or Hunting), Lapua brass and 210M's pretty well. I did have an 8 twist that didn't shoot worth a crap as you have described, sent it back to the manufacturer and they warrantied it...bad barrel. My current 6.5 284 is a Savage with a Brux 8 twist. It likes RL26 and 147's pretty well. I wouldn't move away from the cartridge, the ones I've been around are very accurate, not too picky and a hell of a lot of fun to shoot. [/QUOTE]
