What is your Browning Xbolt Pro setup?

[Magnett]

I record everything with o-give but measuring with calipers OAL is about 3.665. I jump it at exactly .010 which is just barely under mag length for me. I seat based on jump rather oal. I have had the most luck with 76.5 gr h-1000. I also set neck tension at .02 and I am pretty meticulous with brass prep.

Also as is common sense anybody reading this make sure you work up to this load just because it works safely in my gun doesn’t mean it will do the same for you.

Thanks Freebeer. My base to ogive with a hornady comparator is 2.821 for a jump of .101" which gives me COAL 3.6". One difference is you have an 1-8 twist and I have 1-10" twist. My neck tension is set with a Mandrel at .307. Using ADG brass and FED GM 215M primers. My 210 HVLD loads are qtr moa to 1/3 MOA. My 210 loads are .010" off lands. So you must have a short throat to load the 215's at .010" off lands.

yeah I can load the 210s to the lands but not 215s. My 210 loads are .001 of the lands. Probably some other seating depths work but I started there with load development and it worked. I wonder if the twist is throwing your fliers. I have another 300 win mag with a ten twist and I couldn’t get the Berger 215 or 210s to shoot. 185gr ended up being the ticket.

Leupold VX5hd, handloads, 26" barrels. 5-shot groups of first handloads tested in 160 gr accubonds. .280 Rem. Two X-bolt rifles. 140s perform the same.
