[QUOTE="blvette75, post: 2334302, member: 72440"] If someone has not suggested this yet, if you can get a bore scope, and check your bore for imperfections, tooling marks and barrel fouling if fouling is present clean the barrel well and invest in some Tubbs firelapping bullets if tooling marks are present. I have seen a couple of videos on how to set the seating depth on your rifle as well at the following website: [URL]https://www.longrangeonly.com[/URL] as well as other techniques to optimize your hand-loads, much better than I could explain to you. On the ammunition that your rifle shoots well you may find, what I gave found, on one of my rifles, the factory ammunition that it shot well was at a specific COAL range. This was what I found on my BAR it shoots more accurately with a shorter COAL and when I measured the length of the brass that was shorter as well, I prepare my brass that way now for this rifle. The Brass had to all be full resized if I shot it prior out of my Savage bolt gun in the same caliber, and it could not even chamber some of my reloads made for my bolt gun if those reloads were just neck sized. I have had mixed results on crimping. My BAR does have another type of muzzle brake besides a Boss on it. I have done the Tubbs not the full treatment on the barrel on my BAR. But it will get about 0.5 MOA if I do my part which is good enough for me. Hope that helps, [/QUOTE]
