I have a 7mm Remington magnum with a 24" Hobaugh barrel - 1 in 10" twist. It shoots 140 and 160 grain bullets very well - sub MOA. But I have found that 175 grain Remington CoreLokt bullets are wildly inaccurate - even keyholing at times. This was with a fairly stout (but not maximum) load of H870.
I'd like to develop a 175 grain load (using a premium bullet) that is accurate enough for use on plains game in Tanzania next September. I do not want to spend time and go through the trouble and expense of buying premium bullets to develop a load if it's unlikely to pan out.
Any advice on how to get better accuracy with 175 grain spitzer bullets?
