[img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img] [ QUOTE ] How are you holding the rifle as in shoulder pressure, hand on forearm? [/ QUOTE ] My bro was pulling the poll of the grip hard against the heavy( [b]heavy[/b] ) rear bag and then putting his shoulder against the butt with a full grip from his trigger hand then letting gravity do it's thing. Several times he said he wasn't sure of the quality of the shot but he also stated that he was getting a good surprise break.

[/ QUOTE ] Biz card goes OK on the work bench. I'll check it next shooting session. [ QUOTE ] You're not using REM 9 1/2 Primers, are you? [/ QUOTE ] Winchester large rifle mag. [ QUOTE ] Also, 20 shots in less that say 30 minutes @ 40 degrees temp. your bbl should have been pretty darn warm.
