I know someone...Does outstanding job.

Spill the beans man

I'll be trying 100 grain TTSX, 110 grain Accubonds and 115 Berger VLDs in mine. I don't know how much more accuracy I will see. It shoots .289" 5 shot groups with 115 grain ballistic tip factory Weatherby ammo. I just refuse to use ballistic tips for deer hunting.

Mike-you shooting a factory production barrel or a custom?

I think I'll have some time to load some before the weekend. I have 110 accubonds and 115 CT. Hopefully will be able to hit the range this weekend-we'll see how they do.

Mine's a fully custom rifle. Stiller action, Kreiger barrel, McMillan stock, Jewell trigger, Swarovski scope.

I hate spending that much for their ammo too. I did find some HSM ammo loaded with 115gr Berger bullets at able ammo that shoots really good in my wife's gun, it was still 59.00 a box but shoots 1/2" groups and I'm by no means a target shooter.

I went with a custom as well

Mine is in a Ruger #1. Rugers aren't known for the accuracy. Mine shot factory 100gr spire point at .510.

With mine I can play with the COL more than most.

Because of the freebore, just load cartridge OAL to max. That should be a good starting point, and will free you up to try varying powder charge weights instead.
