[QUOTE="300winnie, post: 123402, member: 4372"] I have a Weatherby Mark V Deluxe in .257 Weatherby that I can't seem to get to shoot worth a hoot. The consistency is crap. A few weeks ago I shot a group with 110 grain Accubonds and RL25 that breathed new life into me, only to be dashed by further attempts. However, I refuse to believe it is not a good load, I just need to find out what is wrong with the gun...it hasn't shot anything worth a crap since I got serious. I have tried 100 grain TSX's and Partitions, 110 grain Accubonds, 115 grain Ballistic tips and IMR 7828, RL22, IMR 4831 and RL25. Saturday I went out and it was cold, rainy and humid. My point of impact with the aforementioned load shifted 6 inches to the right. Got me thinking...I'm going to free float this s.o.b.!!!!!!!!! Is this a good idea? What about doing it without glassing anything? Still a good idea? I need help before I go crazy with this thing. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
