I really liked the 215 coated SWC from Brazos. I say "liked" because they discontinued it.
Without having ever slugged my barrel, I just always bought the ones sized to .431 vs the other choice which was .430.
When they discontinued the bullet they ran out of .431 first so I ordered the .430, hoping they would shoot just as well.
Wrong! My 20 yd groups went from the size of a plum to the size of a grapefruit.
Is there anyway to improve the accuracy of an undersized bullet? Speed it up? Slow it down?
Or maybe the answer is, it just doesn't fit my barrel well and and will never shoot well.
Currently pushing it about 1200 FPS with 10.0 grains of Herco.
