[QUOTE="Muddyboots, post: 1869605, member: 63925"] It can be really tough to give up on a rifle but sometimes you just have to cut your losses, BUT I have attached a comment I made about Nosler BT's, AB's and ABLR that may be pertinent to your rifle especially if you really like the ABLR's. "Nosler BT's, AB's, ABLR etc may not shoot as well as you would think near the lands. The following is a technical note from their webpage for ABLR's but I have used this thought when loads were not performing as well as I thought they should when near the lands. I have actually reversed how I load BT's and AB's when I am not getting the accuracy I think should be by starting at SAAMI and then lengthening the CBTO or COAL to no more than 0.010 off the lands. And yes, I have found the sweet spot closer to or even at SAAMI for them. Something to think about when realizing Berger says similar with their CBTO load guidance in some respects. [I]"TECHNICAL NOTE *When loading the AccuBond®-LR bullet, Nosler ballisticians have found that loading to the maximum SAAMI cartridge overall length tends to provide best accuracy.
