i had some work done on my old sporterized 03A3, and am trying out some different loads for it. long story short, i had a load group pretty freaking good at 200, but 100 wasn't any tighter, just about the same. do certain loads take a little range to truly stabilize, or is something else going on?

Actually, the are over-stabilized at the muzzle and need some distance to "calm down". 03a3 is a 10 twist, you're probably shooting light bullets, very fast. Arrows do the same thing, first ten yards lots of flex and wobble, then they straighten out.

Re: bullet stabilizing question
cool thanks. they were 165 grain bullets, i was thinking about going 180 to see what that was like.

155 Scenars do the same in my 1:12 Remington, but they are not over-spun.
Some bullets just take some range to go to sleep.
