I did a TON of load development this weekend for my 243 Savage Stevens Action and CBI 1/8 Twist 243. I had a box of 105 berger VLD's, a box of 105 AMAX's, and went through hell trying to get them to shoot moa at 300ft. I finally said enough is enough, went to my local gun shop and picked up some SMK 95's. First two loads shot under moa with near perfect vertical. I am just blown away how everything says shoot 105's end of story. I can not get them to shoot. I ran 120 rounds through my gun in the last 3 days, and 105's are averaging about 1 1/2" no matter what. I had two loads: Bergers 40.6 h4350 JAMMED a few thousandths into the lands to shoot a touch over moa. Seems like if I didn't jamm the damn 105's I can't get them to shoot at 100 yards. Any tips would be great, or I guess I'm just going to settle for these 95SMK's....3thousandths off the lands they are shooting nicely. What a frustrating day!
I guess I just wanted to share. Any of you have similar results?
