[QUOTE="Groot, post: 1796239, member: 111981"] The rifle is a Marlin X7 (bolt gun) definitely not a bench gun lol, I've tried loading into the lands, and gave me about a 2 inch group at just about every powder level, and then I tried 10k and 30k at 4 powder charges in .2 grain increments, and found my best group just under 3/4 with 10k and 28.6 grain of cfe 223. Id say I’ve spent around 50-75 rounds tinkering at 100 yards and at distance. I did the same load up twice once in bitter cold weather snd once in temps between 80-90 I did not use the hornady overall length gauge. Ive found the lands by feel by seating little by little and closing the bolt thanks [/QUOTE]
