Some guns just wont shoot some loads well,It doesn't mean theirs any thing wrong with your gun. Just switch components and work up again,you'll likely find a load very close to this one that will make you happy.I was ready to throw in the towel on Nosler bullets,I've got several varietys on my reloading shelf, when I was convinced by a friend to try their 168gr custom compitition j4 bullets. Man in my Savage tactial rifle they shoot as good as sierra's and that's great.
