[QUOTE="jakesparents, post: 396091, member: 24884"] I have been loading 5 shot groups going up in half grain increments. 75.0 was the best, 75.5 opened up. (R-22) The BR primers did seem to help some over the 215's. I do think I need to give it more jump. I think I will try that next. I was loading them at 3.510, which is right on the lands, that was worse. I have them at 3.490 right now. I am going to try a little farther and see what happens. One guy said his liked it .080-.100 from the lands, that was a Savage like mine. I think he was shooting 180 SMK's though. I am hoping to get out the next couple days and try the next load. i am out of R-22 and am trying to decide if I should get another pound, or try 4350 or H1000. I also have some 7828, but I have noticed that it recoils substantially more for some reason, but gets the same velocity. I have some Retumbo, but I don't see any loads for the 180 gr range for that. Must be too slow. Thanks! Andy [/QUOTE]
