[QUOTE="Brambles, post: 1113180, member: 11508"] Well I can't hardly believe it's been over 2 years since I've played with my 338 edge. After the ladder load the rifle has just sat in the cabinet while the other kids came out to play and I concentrated on other projects. I think part of the problem was the terrible inconsistency I was experiencing before I sent the rifle back to the builder. I was afraid it just wasn't gonna settle down and putting it off seemed easier than dealing with it. So now, over 2 years later I decided to pick a load and shoot it, so I chose 89.5gr of H1000. I loaded 3 each at .100 .080 .065 .050 .030 .010 And 6 touching the lands. Shot at 100 yards prone on my sled with no weight. .100 was little less than 1.5" group but looked good .080 was a touch smaller .065 was a bit smaller .050 was a considerable improvement and well below moa The trend continued I got to the first set of touching the lands and I'm getting happy I set the chrony 15' out on the last string and recorded 2804, 2774, 2778 Gonna try and attach the two groups @ the lands Best one measured .218" center to center.
