RE: Is this normal?
Have to admit, 12" off the paper is a little much. I know when I tried Scrirrocos, they were 6" off and I was a little confused. I reload and load I bet 12 different bullets for my 300RUM and 308 alone. And none of them have the same POI. All of them usually within 5 " of each other.
I got one gun, a 308 that will shoot coreloks ok. Every other one I have tried, about 12 to 15 of them, none of them was subMOA guns with coreloks. Federals with Sierras have a huge success ratio in all my guns I have had.
Look at it this way, they are cheaper than 12ga sabot slugs. Got to pay to play.
