[QUOTE="Idaho Trecker, post: 1131993, member: 67706"] Havent had much time for shooting lately but made a last minute run to shoot before the major rain and wind hit this morning. I decided to go the other direction on finding loads for this rifle than what I usually do and worked on seating depth first (not powder charge). I loaded 3 each at 3 different seating depths ( .007 off, .060 off and.105 off) with 60 grains of RL 26 Norma brass and Fed 210 GM. My groups werent spectacular by any means with the weather and my itchy trigger finger todaygun) but I achieved the results I was looking for. .007 off group at 100 was .890" .060 off group at 100 was .750" .105 off group at 100 was 1.050" I fired all shots over a chrono (just a chrony Nothing fancy) which if i trust the readings also confirmed what my groups told me where I need to be for seating depth. The .060 off load chrono read 2838 2844 2838!!!! Now if I can get the speed up some and get the groups to shrink I will be in business. Aslo worth mentioning that since my last outing I put the rifle in a B&C Alaskan stock which I floated the barrel and bedded the recoil lug and tang. [ATTACH]53427.vB[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
