Savage 12 VLP in .204 Ruger (heavy barrel)
Actually, it sprays Hornady factory ammo 6". Terrible. Test groups with hand loads have bested at 0.5" I've been working the handloads for this one for a year now, and this one has been an enigma. I have several posts on this forum (and at 204 ruger.com) about my quest for bug holes. I may be expecting too much. What irks me is that I have an old '94 Mauser 6.5x55 that drills 0.5" no matter what I feed it (current 85gr sierra varminters on 46.8 gr IMR 4350) even if I get lazy with my shooting form!! Bullets can have awful runout, unprepped brass, etc., This rifle is getting prepped brass (except for flash holes), match primers, good bullet TIR (0.002" or less), I put 1000 round adjusting powder and OAL and... can't break the barrier 0.5" .

'Found the accuracy bug:
...it was inconsistent volume brass. Changed to Nosler, and printing 0.3" regular. Happy fellow!!
