I have a new 26" barrel I was working up loads for yesterday. Not impressed.
I was just doing a charge test 29.0-30.2 varget in 0.2 gr increments. My previous barrel load was 29.2 varget, but with the 105 VLD. I was unable to get VLDs this go around, so picked up the Hybrids.
My 29.2 load shows the best SD and ES, 2 and 4 respectively, but the groups are horrible. Couldn't get a group of THREE smaller than 1.3 MOA. That is unacceptable. Normally, I have no problem getting 0.5 MOA.
Is there hope that seating depth will tune this load? I am currently 0.015" off the lands.
