The 9 1/8 twist will stabilize 105's. I know some folks haven't had much luck with 'em and maybe my gun/load is an anomaly, but I've found two loads that typically hover around .5 MOA using 47.0 gr Retumbo @ two different seating depths. One at .02 off the lands and the other with the bullets seated to SAAMI spec max OAL translating to a .12" jump. The .02 out load shoots a little tighter at distance and is what was shot on the targets below. Rifle is a factory Rem 700 SPS.
The clean cold bore shot makes this .9 MOA. It was probably me, maybe a little oil still in the barrel... I don't know, but the other 4 are in 1/2" and I've shot this load enough to know most deviation outside this range is usually due to the indian and not the bow or arrows.
3 shots, .24 MOA @ 100 yds.
The two at the top left were sighters. Took .2 mil out and shot the next 3. .44 MOA @ 200 yds.
By no means my typical results at 960 yds, but I think it illustrates that <span style="text-decoration: underline">the load</span> is more capable than the shooter (i.e. me). I don't know the exact spread on these 3 shots, but the plate is 36"x36", the bull is approximately 11", and using the ruler function in OnTarget, the max spread of the chipped away portion is about 4.79" so take that for whatever it's worth.
