>>Seriously though, like any ammo might, it just doesn't like your gun, probably too slow twist. Lighter bullets might work. I load ultra-low recoil 7-08. My 6 year old shoots it. It does fine. It'll shoot not much over an inch at 100, maybe 1 1/2.<<

I tried Remmington Managed Recoil, and Hornaday Lite.
Both will cycle the action of my semi auto. But neither will group.
