[QUOTE="bowhunthard88, post: 1439094, member: 12575"] I'm probably beating a dead horse here, but... Have you tried different overall lengths? My one rifle/bullet prefers the overall length to be between 0.120-0.140" from the rifling to the ogive! That's way further than I usually would have ever tested, except for the fact that I read an article on testing Berger bullets that is posted on here somewhere (this was a while ago). That being said: I usually pick a bullet, test for optimal col with a preferred powder, and then if I haven't found good accuracy (it's never "good enough" lol) I will test different powders for the best accuracy/ES/SD combination. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
