I knew that many folks had problems with the original X Bullets ……but damn, you guys are “snake bit”!
I had a friend that tried the original X in his new Remington 700 SS in 25-06. He had similar results as you guys. I talked him into hand lapping his bore. It cut the groups in half, but were still pretty bad. Although in his only opportunity to elk hunt in Wyoming, he went out and killed the largest bodied bull elk that I’ve ever seen. He shot it on the run, broadside…..the elk continued for about 50 or 60 yards and pilled-up!
I also hand lapped the bore on my wife’s SS Model 70, it helped it’s groups a bit also.
Since the advent of the grooved X Bullets, getting 1” or better groups hasn’t been an issue! memtb
