Barry, The barrel shoots great with other bullets. Actually it shoots great with most bullets. It just doesn't like the combinations I've tried with this one bullet.


Interesting thing, I was in a LGS today, looking for some more .308 168gr TTSX and got to talking with one of the guys who works there. He has the exact same issue with one of his five .223 rifles. Nothing but 4895 will get him anywhere near 1 MOA in that particular rifle with anything over 50gr bullets.

(He tried really hard to sell me one of three brand new Browning .223's on the rack that they can't get rid of, even at their cost because they all have 1:2" twist barrels. No one around here wants a .223 that won't shoot 60gr+ bullets).
