[QUOTE="112Savage, post: 881634, member: 38801"] So I got some happy shooting done yesterday. I love shooting this rifle! The nut behind the rifle might have not been his tightest, but the rifle tried to do its best. Conditions were mid 50's very light/no breeze shooting prone with pretty crude bag setup. loads were 52.5 grains H4350 cci BR-2 primer 190 VLD I used the same bullet and case each time I changed the seating depth in order to ensure consistency. groups of 3 rounds each shortest = 3.365" 3.405" 3.445" 3.485" Longest 3.525" This is approximate 0.01" into the lands. On the target rounds were shot left to right shortest to longest with the 3.525" being the high right group. All were shot round robin style. 3.445" was the winner until the last shot when I probably pulled the group (coincidentally this distance out of the lands is the same amount my 115 grain berger 0.257" VLD's like to shoot). I'm going to experiment from here using the 3.365" load because they still fit in the magazine. For now I'm going to shoot as is and later will chronograph with slight increases in powder and use RL17 as well. [/QUOTE]
