    just cannot get the darn things to shoot? I worked up a load at 100 yards got the grouping down past 1/2 MOA, took them out to 300 yards and the darn things are all over the place! Done this with two diffrent powders? I was hopeing to use this bullet for 600 yards and less but it does not...

    Varget and Hornady 178 HPBT?

    I could not get this combo to group without flyiers, I think I am done. For what it's worth I didnt have much better grouping with MR 2000 out of a 1/12 twist tube. Diego

    F T/R Competition Was freaking out for a minute there!!

    I hate to say it but things have not gone well for me with this rifle! I could not get the darn thing to quit throwing flyers! The flyer presented it's self regardless of load, bullet or powder? It would shoot 3 or 4 rounds into the same spot then out of nowhere there would be one an inch to...

    Where should I look for the cause of the f$S%* Flyer!!!

    I load all loads the same, I load for other rifles and do not have this problem. I weigh each charge, I do not weight seperate my cases, nor have I for any rifle. I have been careful with shot timing. Happens whether shooting off the bipod or lead sled, all groups shot indoors. I know...

    Where should I look for the cause of the f$S%* Flyer!!!

    I have been very careful with brass prep, powder charges, seating depth ect. No mag, single feed. I have checked and rechecked all the usual suspects, such as rings, scope, rail, action screws! Happens pretty much every 4-5 shot group? Every once in a while I will get a clean group but not...

    Where should I look for the cause of the f$S%* Flyer!!!

    I just picked up a used factory Savage FTR 308 that had about 200 rounds down the tube. These groups were produced by several diffrent loads using diffrent components, I cannot isolate the cause of the flyer! The flyer occures wheather the barrel has been cleaned or after 75 rounds. The rifle...

    F T/R Competition Was freaking out for a minute there!!

    DM, I would love to compare results! I ran seating depth testing with the Hornady 178 bthp only produced one good result which was 45gr of varget 15 thou off the lands. I didn't get any chrono readings on that group cause I knock3d yhe unit over.

    F T/R Competition Was freaking out for a minute there!!

    I just picked up a Savage F/TR in 308 1/12 twist. Did some load development today. I started with the Hornady 178 HPBT set 25 thou off the lands, Varget powder and Lapua brass. I started at 44gr and worked my way up in .02 grain incraments. I had no groups worth talking about until I hit...

    Savage 338 Lapua Mag help!
