:? I have used 120 gr partitions in my 25-06 for years with great success; always flawless performance. However, I felt compelled to try the new Accubonds, so I bought a box of 110 gr. In the past I have shot several brands/weights of bullets through my Ruger M77 and have always had them group close enough to the PT to hunt with, 2 inches difference @ 140 yards at the most between the PT and others. I was shocked when I shot the Accubonds and did not even cut paper at 100 yards!!! After shooting three or four Accubonds, I shot one of my PT just in case something had happened to the rifle. Perfect dead center and 1.5" high....spot on. Turns out the Accubonds group fine (maybe great!) just 6+ inches high. Obviously I can adjust for this, but I prefer not to make the adjustments since all other bullets seem to group together and then they would all be way off without re-adjusting.
Anyone else have this experience? Any suggestions to limit the difference? Or do I just make the sight adjustments and use the Accubonds? FYI, I tried three different powders with basically the same results.
