[QUOTE="charliehorse27, post: 1888325, member: 110063"] The rifle does have a muzzle brake on it, thankfully. It kicks about as much as a 243. I tried doing the seating depth test initially. I loaded 3 each at intervals of .040 up to .120 off starting at .005 off the lands with a mild charge. It seemed to prefer nearly touching the rifling, and printed 3/4 MOA initially, and in additional testing fine tuning it a bit more. The rifle (or the shooter, perhaps) has never been lights out incredible with anything I’ve tried. The Berger factory match ammo with the same bullet printed 5 shot groups just a touch below 3/4 MOA both times I tried it. 212 ELD-X with H1000 was just under 1 MOA, so I thought I’d toy with the Berger 215’s it seemed to have a little more taste for. I don’t have access to anything longer than 380 yards, so that was the best I could do for distance at the moment. I might try exploring the 75-76 node with 3 shot groups. I’m reluctant to strap on the Magnetospeed for it because it never seems to shoot as well when that thing is hanging off it. We have a 2 year old and 6 week old babe at home, so it might be a little while before I get the opportunity to try again. I appreciate everyone’s advice trying to make sense of it! [/QUOTE]
