    Benny, did you not KNOW that a bullet that long,with that much weight forward,coming out of a 1:10 twist bbl at 930fps would not stabilize ??
    It's lucky that the bullet did not do a U turn and come back to hit you between the eyes.
    The above figures are about the greatest combo for bullet unstability that I have hear'ed tell about since Moby Dick was a guppy.
    Look around the web and find that bullet stabilization formula. Several inputs later you will come up with a number that tells the "rest of the story".
    After the bullet stability thing has been mastered,check over your barrel closely. If the bbl is flawed it could only show up when you get down close to the super vs sub vels but shoot the hot'ish supers just fine.
    The bullet weight (actually length),forward velocity,twist rate,formula will get you goin' in the right direction. --- SAWMAN
