[QUOTE="Rustystud, post: 246369, member: 9964"] [b]Need More Info...[/b] Lear: First, clean your rifle with both carbon solvent and copper solvent. Second, Don't expect two different rifles made by two different manufactures for two different purposes automaticlly to shoot the same ammo. Most ARs are throated long and loose. Recently Remington and Savage have been throating their rifles long also. Because of magazine length issues the heavier and VLD bullets have been hand loaded since they are shot single shot in matches. The 223 has gone throught an evolution. In the begining they were loaded with 50-55 grain bullets and shot with a 12-14 twist barrel. Today they are loaded with bullets from 69- 90 grains and barrels from 6.5- 9 twist. I would not expect to get the best accuracy in a bolt gun with loads developed for a gas gun. Get your rifling twist and your throat for the bullet you are going to shoot. For the bolt gun I suggest you get a custom barrel from one of the top makers, have it chambered with a reamer with the throat length cut for the bullet being shot. I would recomend , Kreiger, Bartlien, or RockCreek for cut rilfing and Broughton, Lilja, or Shilen for button rifling. I would suggest you get your reamer from Dave Kiff at Pacific Tool and Gauge. I would suggest Lapua brass in the bolt gun. Have your action trued, including having the bolt lapped. You might get a Rifle Basix Sav-2 Trigger also. I suggest Ken Farrell rings and bases. You will see a world of difference in an custom lapped barrel. Your Stevens is capable of shooting in the .2s and .3s at 100 yards. Rustystud [/QUOTE]
