Okay, I'm not a newbie, but definitely not a grizzly veteran. I have purchased various match grade factory ammo in 69gr and 75gr for my Axis. I went to the farm yesterday to test. I started using Remington 55gr just to get the scope dialed in. With the cheaper Remington 55gr. I was able to keep 5 shots in about a 1" square. Soooo, I figured, "boy, when I start shooting the 69gr match grade" I'll be driving tacks..........NOT! I couldn't keep the match grade within 2". Everything I had read said 1:9 twist would stabilize a 69gr bullet very well. I used three different manufacturers, factory loads. So, someone please enlighten me!! Please!! By the way, I was shooting at 100yds.

I probably won't have time to reload for the next few years, so I'll have to stick to factory loads.

Thanks in advance,
Joe
