7mm 175 ELD bullet questions

Texas

Silver $$ Contributor
Anyone shooting these? I bought some for my 7/300 WSM. I am trying RL 25 and am getting good velocities but only mediocre accuracy. I have a 9 twist which is slightly slower than recommended. I am seating them about .010 off the lands. Has anyone tried jamming them or loading farther off? I have some Retumbo that I haven't tried so maybe that will yield better results. Using Norma brass and a hunting weight barrel (.670 muzzle) I am getting around 1.75-2 inch groups at 300 yards. Hoping to get consistent half MOA.
Any tips would be appreciated.
Thanks
 
Reloder 33 works good for me in the 26 Nosler and the 28 Nosler. I'm using it with 130s & 140s in a 1-8 Brux #3 in 26 Nosler and with 168s and 180s in a Brux Sendero 1-9 twist 28 Nosler, all Berger bullets. What are your velocities?

Texas,
See Berger Hybrid BULLET seating depth testing information here:
http://bulletin.accurateshooter.com...how-to-load-hybrid-bullets-for-best-accuracy/. General rule of thumb is that once you get to 1 MOA to 1/2 MOA more accuracy can be found by learning to read conditions closer , trigger control and working on your position. It sounds like you have a good load there . Do you have any target pictures or Chronograph information to share ?
