I repeatedly put 4 bullets inside .75" at 100 yards but there is always one flier making it 1 1/4-1 3/8. It is not consistent which shot will be the flier (first, last etc) I have tried varying seating depths, lightly crimping and waving a chicken bone over the scale. I can't seem to shake off that flier. Is this uncommon? Do I need to move on?
Maybe a better question would be: Does this kind of result suggest staying with 120g eldm and changing powders (I also tried XBR and Varget) with somewhat similar results, a change in 120g bullet (perhaps a Nosler) or a change in bullet weight.
