I picked up a model 43 over the summer and to make a long story short I'm not happy with anything I've cooked up so far. The slow twist (I think its 1/16) is not helping. I tried 50gr Speers and they key holed at 50 yds. 40 gr vmax at least made round holes in the target but I couldn't get the accuracy I demand out of handloads. Right now the best I've been able to get is about 1 1/2 inch groups with 35gr vmax over i4227 and cci450.

I'm wondering if others have had similar experiences and what ever advice I can get. If i can't get this thing under an inch off the bench its probably going down the road.

They say everything happens for a reason.
For me that reason is usually because I've made some bad decisions that I need to pay for.
