I was thinking about dropping to 90 of T7 - but I was sure they would tumble @ 110.

Looking at this set of pictures particularly the height of the 230 as compared to the 215. I could not get the 230 to stabilize from the 1-30 even with a 130 grains of t7.



But as I look at the pic the 215 really is not that much longer than the 200 which I can shoot really well.

I really wish I knew why they might work so well for me and not others.

I think we have answered the question about whether the bullet might be yawing or not. SShooter has put a post about shooting the bullet this morning form a slow twist 45. His holes looked ragged also. But his 1 hole group at a 100 was really nice and a 1" group of two shots at 200 and no sign of tumbling is even better.

Then something SShooter mentioned prompted me to go take a look at my target board. After doing that there is no question in my mind the bullets were not yawing.

Here is a close up of one of the random 40 cal holes.



All of them looked very good - I was also able to plug new bullets into the existing holes - it was a really tight push to get them in - but there they are.

Based on those pics i dont think it is tumbling either . Looks good to me

Sabotloader, Looking at the sides of the 215cf an the 185BL bullets, Does the taper on the 215cf start before or about the same?
