if ya have a boss, use it...boss is what re-loaders do by time exhausting measurements and hours and hours of pain stakin work, just to get the vibration of the barrel to be in tune...if your accuracy is gone, look on browning and see what they recommend you set your boss to start the tuning process with a particular round....i'd imagine if ya have a boss, then ya know what i mean. if ya use it properly, and take the time to figure it out, you can change bullets with 3 practice shots and be inside 1" groups after that.

Did you adjust it for the 150? There are not even close in my BAR/BOSS.

Did you adjust the BOSS when testing the 150's? The sweet spot for a 150 is completely different than for the 180. As a matter of fact the sweet spot for a 180 Accubond is way different than the sweet spot for any other 180gr bullet.

Yes, My Browning BAR/BOSS shoots 165gr Accubonds and Partitions very well with Ramshot Hunter. My CZ Model 3 shoots the 165 Accubond to one ragged hole with MRP and well under 1 inch with Hunter.
