[QUOTE="SuperBruce, post: 2740997, member: 120544"] Thank you. And thanks everyone for the tips. I still haven't gotten out to test seating depth but if that's not it then it's probably just not a good bullet-barrel combo. This rifle, while not the best, can consistently print small(er, it's not a match rifle by any means) groups in my hands with other loads so it is unlikely to be only me or only the rifle. I've tried these bullets with other powders (TAC, H4895, Varget) and it's been inconsistent (at best) across the board. I haven't tried varying seating depth yet because I have to load them so far from the lands as it is but I'll give that a shot and if not just move on to a different bullet. [USER=108499]@Randal Rosenberg[/USER] , this rifle shoots hammers really well (3/4 MOA or less is the norm out to 500 yards) and those are what I use for hunting but I'd like an affordable range bullet to practice with. Hornady bullets are very reasonably priced and have been great for me in other calibers (and the 125 SST over TAC is amazing in this rifle) but I might just have tried a bad combo this time. [/QUOTE]
