Variable, yes we are mixing when this happens. Today I went out w/ CFE loads in hand and w/ 120 gr. Noster BT's got 1/2, 5/8, and a couple of 3/4" 5 round groups. Starting working up 100 grain Barnes bullets and am at 1" to 1 1/2". Blamed the difference on the bullet, started shooting the 100 gr. Amax and got 1 1/4", 3/4" and 1 1/4". I know the rifle should like this bullet. Pulled out a load I know the rifle shoots well, w/ TAC powder, 1 1/2" ! Today I am about 45 rounds into the gun in 4 hours when I get that group, and I pack up and go. Gun is a laser for a while though. Maybe i will just feed it a bunch of those Nosler's with this powder that shot so well today and see. Might just go on a no clean campaign for awhile too. Sounds way mo fun.
