Hi
Went to the range today with a buddy. He was shooting 140 Bergers (older thin jacket with the 0.64 BC on the box) from a 6.5x284 custom gun.
The gun was shooting a blast (around 0.5MOA) at 100 yards, until it threw one shot about three inches high, and the bullet cut the paper a perfect horizontal keyhole - clearly the bullet went through the target completely sideways. The rifle recoiled normally - so we're not sure that it was a reload problem (this guy is a reloading perfectionist).
Has anyone had this before? Dud bullet perhaps?
Cheers
Jaco
