[QUOTE="vancewalker007, post: 2657955, member: 66917"] Once you have verified that all the mechanical issues (ie. stock fit, stock screws torque correct, scope mounting correct, scope operating properly, barrel crown OK) with the rifle are OK then I'd do an OCW style powder ladder recording the group sizes and the velocities before I wasted any more components guessing on what powder load to try. Find a powder load that is in a stable node and go from there. Your guesses about powder loads could be on the edges of pressure nodes causing your velocities to be all over the map shot to shot. Once you have a known stable powder load try seating depth tests using the powder load and seating depths in 0.005in steps. This should quickly narrow down where your accuracy nodes are or are not. There is a chance the rifle hates the bullet you are shooting. It happens. [/QUOTE]
