[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1432398, member: 30902"] There's no logical reason for only one bullet to shoot well for you. It also makes no sense that you are running out of elevation adjustment. Did you start off with 0 MOA mounts? If you started with a 20-30MOA rail then it would make sense to be running short at the low end but certainly not at the high end. What twist rate is your barrel? Too slow of a twist can cause issues with the heavier bullets but even a 1:10 twist barrel should be shooting everything up to the 200-210's with no problem. I have the same rifle in 300wm. It started off about a 2moa shooter but after floating and bedding it it quickly became a sub MOA shooter. It really likes the Hornady Precision Hunter Ammo. Now with your having trouble maintaining accuracy beyond 100 yards that's usually a user error problem. If it's right at a hundred it should be right at any range you're shooting out to at least 600-800yds. [/QUOTE]
