[QUOTE="Tex_Hunter, post: 1554000, member: 31749"] I wouldnt give up just yet. I've found that Hornady factory ammo doesnt always shoot very consistent (178gr ELD-Xs had an SD of 25 in one of my 308's with an ES of 70 or so). The Bergara is a 1:10 twist so maybe shoot some 175gr Fed GM Match out of it to see if it like heavier bullets. If your round count is low (less than 100) then you may find it gets a little more consistent once it fouls a bit more. Mine started out at just under 1MOA for the first few groups and shrunk to ~.5MOA by the time I had shot trough the second box of ammo when I was breaking it in. I love my HMR, haven't been able to shoot a bad group with it yet. Their customer service is also outstanding. I had to deal with them for an issue I was having with pierced primers running small rifle primers, and they bent over backwards to make things right in time for a big hunt I was going on. (first pic is factory Hornady Precision Hunter 143gr ELD-X second pic is handloads with the same bullet) [ATTACH]118595[/ATTACH][ATTACH]118596[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
