300 grain XTP Mag (I Think)
60gr N120 Remington LRP
100yds

Bought them as blemished bullets about 15 yrs ago.

Shot this group from a lead sled, so unsure if it was the rest or if the gun doesn't like these as well.

Try those bullets n load off that rest. I had mine of a lead sled solo rest. They sprayed all over at 100 yds on out. I am thinking those rests are the reason & they kill scopes also
 
Now there's some real eye candy. Those BE's are some of the most accurate bullets I've ever shot. If I recall the xtp regulars have two knurled rings on them. Pretty typical that a gun will prefer a certain load.
 
Confirmed 300 gr XTP Mag, off standard rest does not group well - 60gr N120 Rem LRP

3.3" CTC

Got some .452 245gr Hornady blems. 65gr N120, Rem LRP. Needed a wool wad to stabilize. Velocity was all over the place. I suspect from the wool wad.
