Just want to ask this large knowledge pool if anyone has been having accuracy issues with recently produced Nosler Partitions? I should say I have loaded and trusted these bullets for 5 decades with easily obtained MOA accuracy in most cases...
This year I acquired some fresh .257 Nosler 115gr Partitions that I intended to work up a load for my usually tack driving custom 257 Ackley Improved. After several attempts with everything well over 2 MOA ,(shotgun patterns), I happened to weigh a box of them...Holy ████! The spread from the lightest to the heaviest was 3.8 gr!!!! Weighing all I had and segregating by .5 gr increments, matched batches were better but still flirted with barely MOA groups.... with Speer Hot Cores or Hornady Interbonds, this rifle is always around 1/2 MOA... Any similar experiances? Thanks, DW
