New member to the sight but have crept around here some in the past for some information from you guys that are far more savvy about rifle set-ups than myself. I have a custom 28 nosler that I have been messing with for a little while now and can't seem to get past the 3/4 moa threshold. I have been running 168 VLD's and 175 ABLR's with H1000 powder. The rifle specs are:
700 action blue printed
Cut rifle barrel 1:9 twist 26" long heavy contour
HS stock bedded to the action
Nightforce scope & talley mounts
The bergers seem to perform best seated 10 thou off the lands and the nosler's at 25. Powder charges anywhere from 77-79 grains give best results thus far. I have loaded up from there with no signs of pressure problems but the groups begin to open up considerably. I may have unreal expectations but I kind of figured this setup to be 1/2 moa rifle like some of my other custom rifles. I am going to try some other powders in the next few weeks, but any advice to what you guys have found with your rifles would be greatly appreciated.
