[QUOTE="Guest, post: 55235"] I believe thatthe weak like in this system is the "factory" ammo. The factory stuff is very generic , trying to get decient accuracy out of all guns. If and when you start reloading I believe that you'll probably be able to cut your group size by at least 25% maybe even 50% , that would equal groups in the .5-.75" range. The trick to getting thin barrels to shoot is letting them cool suffeciently. IF , I were going to do anything to a complete factory rig to try to help it shoot I would send it off and have it cryogenicaly stress relieved , I would doubt that any factory barrels are frozen and most are hammer forged so their is definatly some stress in that tube , NOTE: I'm not a big fan of having guns frozen but I have seen 5 factory guns done and ALL of them had tigher groups when they got back , they groups diden't wonder about like they did before. In short , get your self a reloading kit and start rolling your own ,I know a couple guys that are getting into it and have gotten great results from the folowing setup Lee Anniversary Reloading kit ($65) Forster FL Bench rest die set ($50) The Forster dies are great especialy for the low price , just set you FL die to resize just the neck and you'll see better groups from that. With this setup you'll be able to load better bullets for longe range and taylor the seating depth , one of the guys started out reloading by simply pulling the factory bullet and seating them back but not as deep so the bullet diden't have such a long jump to the troat.
