Lloyd, I had a 7.5" 4G Krieger, 30" 6 XC, and the 110's were shooting darn good, Perhaps the Mike Ezel tuner had something to do with it. I know little to nothing about tuners, but I had about 8 numbers that shot with tiny, tiny groups, H4350...all 2's. I fiddled with the tuner very, very little. There must be more to these tuners.I'm running a 7.5 twist and I think the answer is to have enough twist for the altitude you shoot at. I'm at 1,190 ASL and have shot several cleans at 600 yds. with this bullet out of a 6SLR going 3,050 +-. Took the rifle to St Louis, Mo. where the elevation is 545 ASL and it was very ho hum. Dropped a few points, but the X count was very low.
I have experienced this behavior before in a different rifle but in the reverse. I think a 7.5 will work above 1,000 ASL but for them to shoot small I'd use a 7.25 or a 7.
I hope this helps,
Lloyd
