Bolt Gun Bodacious
This is just my theory. The disclamer below applies.
1. The only way to really know what will work in your gun is to shoot your gun. Those of us who been in this a while (granted, some far longer and deeper than me) have spent alot of time and money working thru the very problem we are reading about on the internet. When we finally fix the problem answer the question for ourselves, we can tend to get pretty dogmatic about our experience / opinion. But in the real world, even in a gun made by the exact same manufacturer as ours, using the exact same powder, bullet manufacturer, scope, rings, etc at the exact same temparture and humidity leave at least a dozen other variables that may cause a diferent outcome for others. For instance, the fact that 6.5 CM, using H4350 powder and a 14x grain bullet works 85% of the time, doesn't mean its gonna work 100% of the time. And if we run into someone in that 15% anomaly, it doesn't mean we are a genius and they are an idiot we should talk down to. The variables referenced above mean the only way to know what works in your gun is to shoot it in your gun. There really are very few "universals" in the gun world.
2. Whatever you are 100 % sure is the correct answer to a persons questions / situation, you can be pretty sure someone, somewhere else told them the exact opposite. Don't take it personally if they don't accept your word like Gospel. Likely their own experience or someone else who they trust has a compeltely different experience than you.
3. Careful reading 2- 3 times of a persons scenario is a really good idea. Following that up with honest, respectful, informtion seeking questions rather than just jumping into assuming the place of their internet teacher is a good idea. Likely the OP left out some important details that would be helpful in diagnosing the problem.
Lots more could be said. Add your internet gun theory.
