The accuracy issues are with the bullets in my opinion. With the flat based spitzers I can get loads with bullets that touch regularly on the target and average an inch. Since my loading technique, bullet setting technique are the same, and have been adjusted to try to make the load more accurate I think it is the bullet. My gun does not seem to like boattails. Ufortunately most of the perfomance or premier bullets are all boattails. The rifle is a late 70's era Remington 700 ADL. I have it bedded by a gunsmith, the barrel is free flaoting, the scope is a Nikon Monarch 2-7.
