[QUOTE="britz, post: 273404, member: 7865"] Hello Nobody, Just because joe schmoe has a load that works in his rifle, doesn't mean it will work great in yours. I'm not as much an expert as many on the site, but I often will go through 50 rounds or more just to get in the ball park. There are so many powder bullet combo's to try it'll make your head spin. However, if you are experiencing fliers with many loads and can't find a good one (after you have tested many many more) than I would invest in a bedding job for your rifle. Are you sure your scope is good? Are you weighing every load? How is your seating depth? are you measuring the bullets from the ogive? are they within .002 in length (a number I pulled out of a hat for example). how is your runout (it would have to be real bad to notice on a factory rifle IMHO). I have a savage 22-250 that I have finally gave up on getting better than inch groups with... after about 40 test groups (ya that is a little overboard but I was learning lots about reloading practices too ;) as the saying goes.. learn something new every day. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
