Yeah, there is that... I was hoping it would shoot them ok, because it's 1:11" twist. I doubt it'll shoot 210 coppers worth a crap, because 180's have a minimum barrel twist of 1:11", and the Long range hunter 180s are 1:10" minimum. It's also possible that this ammo was on clearance because the large tip doesn't like WM velocity, and they just aren't going to be worth a ****.I know you wanted to shoot all of these 150's you had, but I stand by my previous statement that it wouldn't shoot 150's worth a crap. Try some 180's or better yet 210's. That looks like a shotgun pattern. Nice looking rifle though.

Thanks! I'm pretty stoked about it, and I suppose I'm not going to mess with the donut, with this load.Awesome! Glad you found a great load.
My experience with the Limbsaver donuts is that you need to “tune” them to the gun.
So you’d do your load development with it off, then install and slide up/down in tiny increments until it shows minimum group size.

I am probably going to mess with 180gr stuff for development, for the eventual elk hunting, in a couple years.

If I don't need to, that's better! Not looking for more accurate, at all, but I had just seen people say that you want 180gr+ for elk, with 30 Cal stuff?Why, the 165 grn TTSX will handle any elk without a problem and the load is already accurate to the point of making the search for a significantly more accurate one rather futile? I get the need to tinker, but......
