[QUOTE="Michael Eichele, post: 31112, member: 1007"] I am not sure what you are trying to accomplish, but a 1" 5 shot group at 200 yards from an -06 is not too bad. This should, and I say "should" cause you just never know, but that ought to get you around 2.5" at 500 yards as it is. If you want to try and improve, depending on what kind of powder you are using, try adding and deducting .5 of a grain of powder to start. If that doesnt help, go another .5 grain, assuming you have no preasure problems. Also try adjusting the seating depth. You might even try that first. If you are already close to max preasure, be carfull not to get the bullet too close to the riflings so as to not drive up the preasure to an unsafe amount. If you are nearing max, deduct a couple grains, load em long and then work up in .5 grain increments. Also watch to make sure youre not exceeding the magazine length. Hope that helps some. PS try them at 500 yards before you do anything, you just might be happy with it! [ 01-30-2004: Message edited by: meichele ] [/QUOTE]
