Subject: Well 150 grainers in the No5 is a bust!

I've tried everything to get this carbine to shoot well with 150 Gr bullets. I've tried 4 powders (IMR 3031, IMR 4895, H335 & Varget). 3 different 150 Gr pills. ( Hornady, Speer & Norma) lots of differing charge weights from light through "mid range" to "spicy" & 3 kinds of primers. I've messed with seating depths & anything else I can think of but I just guess it prefers the 174 Gr ones. The BEST group (pattern actually) was 7 1/2" for 10-rounds @ 200yds!

My lightweight carbine likes heavy bullets & my full sized No4 Mk2 prefers the 150's!
