Hmmm...not what I was hoping to hear. Haven’t seen a bullet shoot “better” after not shooting well at 100 yards personally, but maybe that’s just me. Sorry to hear about your struggles bud.

Tried a variety of powders I assume?

Damnit anyway...this is honestly the first report I’ve read about that bullet not shooting. From a long-range perspective, I’m kind of “all in” on that bullet at this point. I’ll slum 115 BTs if it comes to that,..... but that’s a pretty big concession imho.

Let me know if things get better if you would. I’ll keep everyone posted on how my attempts come together.
