Best accuracy I could get was 1.5 at 100 yards. Just under 28 grains of BM. I shortened the OAL to 2.25 and loaded up some more. Havent been able to get to the range. I will say Im a bit disappointed in the variations in bullet length + or - .005 is unacceptable while paying for a premium bullet. This is probably a one and done. I may try benchmark with the 107 TMK.

Is your +/- .005 measured from the tip or the ogive? Ive never had bullets from the same box vary that much from the ogive. Tip to tip length wont impact accuracy, ogive variation can.
