[QUOTE="atl5029, post: 1032067, member: 84273"] Thanks RT2506. yeah I don't plan to get any 1/2 inch groups with any ammo I have now. Even the PPU match stuff I have have .310-.3105 bullet diameters. I am going to try handloading some of the 174 grainers from hornady and sierra. GS Custom also has a .312 diameter bullets in 165 and 186 grains with impressive BCs. I have slugged my bore with 1/8 oz fishing sinkers that have been flattened a bit, but I couldn't get any really clean slugs. I did several and my best measurements I could get was .312-3125. I was going to buy some .313 diameter pistol bullets to slug my bore, but I think a .315 muzzle loader ball would be much better. Where do you get those? Also, if this gun shows to be pretty accurate, I might use it for some long range deer hunting. Like I said, GS Custom makes a .312 dia. 186 gr bullet with a BC of .607 specifically for long range hunting with the 7.62x54R. They are really expensive though. I have also been talking with the guys at Cutting Edge Bullets about doing a custom run of .312 diameter MTH bullets in the 180 grain range. Their BC should be .6 or better If I get them made, would you be interested in getting in on the order? They would be cheaper per bullet than the GSC bullet. [/QUOTE]
