That being said, none of Sierra's load data, or JD's has managed to give me anything better than a 2" group!! I am using new Winchester brass that I have resized w/Hornady dies to 1.35. For whatever reason, I can't get the darn thing to group for crap!!!! I have tried H 110 , 296, N110, R 7, AA 5....different bullet weights- from 125's to 220's...just can't seem to "dail" them in !
I am just curious to know if the load data is incorrect because of my barrel being a different length?!? SURELY one of you guy's have felt my pain!! I read about you saying you are getting .5 moa groups with all different loads and bullet weights , and a snuff can cannot cover mine!! Trying to seek some knowledge here!!! Any info will be GREATLY appreciated!!
THANKS!

Have you looked closely at your bullet holes to make sure they are round? You may have gotten a bad barrel from the same batch that I did. Check some of your targets and make sure the little hole from the tip of the bullet is centered. When did you get the barrel, and is it stainless or chromoly?
