Hi All,

Now each rifle is a different kettle of fish I have a certain rifle which when I shoot my handloads it regulary (if I do my part that is ) puts three shot touching at 100 yards, 5 shots into 5/8", however feed it Winchester factory 150 grn loads and it shoots about 2 3/4" groups

Now if I offered to shoot it with the Winchester ammo you would not be impressed, but on the other hand if I gave you three of my handloads using the 130 grn bullets you would be suitably impressed. As to why it does not like the Winchester loads I have no idea at all, it's consistant with them and groups are rounded there is just a miss match between this rifle and that ammo. For short range hunting it's fine and I shot a nice red fox with it. Handloads it is most of the time though for obvious reasons.
