[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 1177218, member: 10755"] Hey MudRunner, Yes, we do eat roos, the flavour is unique, it can be quite strong and gamey depending on time of year. The does' taste milder than the bucks, just like deer. AM119, I have seen this type of thing on several factory rifles, as you are not using a proper rest, I suggest you work up your loads, not just pick one out of tge manual, then when you figure out a consistent load, then check impact point shooting from your truck. If you touch the stock differently between shots, it can cause this, as the barrel harmonics change, even with it being free floated. I wouls also suggest that you work out exactly where those pills touch the rifling, the easiest way is to cut 2 slits about 1mm wide, opposite each other in the neck, all the way to the neck/shoulder junction, clean up the burrs. Place a bullet just in the case mouth, chamber it by hand, close the bolt gently, then lift the bolt up and down a few times. Carefully extract it, then measure. Do this several times to make sure you're getting consistent results. Once done for each bullet, try seating .020" off the rifling, most 22 cal bullets like this amount of jump. Give it a try, and let me know if the consistency improves. Cheers. gun) [/QUOTE]
