I dusted off my Weatherby Vanguard Deluxe Sporter been awhile since I shot it and haven't tried many types of ammo in it yet. I decided to try and see if it liked some lighter weight ammo. Up until now I had shot some 180gr. Federal Premium bonded ammo that I was barely able to keep in three shots in 2.5in. Also some 180gr CT Ballistic Silvertips that will go three shots for 1.125in. Today I tried some 165gr. Rem core-lokt. 5 shot at around 1.125in.

Can I do better with some handloads? Or is this about as good as it gets? I'm just using sandbags off a bench and i'll admit I couldn't get a perfectly solid rest...need some different size bags. I'd be happy with 5 shots under an inch. Thinking about having my father load me up either some 165gr. core-lokt or some 168gr CT Ballistic Silvertips.
