I'm trying to find out if anyone has reloaded a Hornady 53gr v-max boattail BC: .290 SD: .151 ..? I'm shooting a Remington model 700 26" heavy bull barrel 1:14 twist. It shoots 60, 55, and lower grain pills just fine. Hornady says that a 1:14 won't stabilize the 53grBT properly because of the length. The BC is too fancy to ignore for this round so I'd like to get them downrange in a group. Do you have any advice or reloading data for me? Any and all input is greatly appreciated.
