[QUOTE="SQ Stalker, post: 293062, member: 18663"] Thanks for all the replies and great info. I shot 24 rounds the other day, a little odd I thought but w/ 54 gr. of H4831SC it preferred .090" off the lands?? Shot a couple .5" groups and avg was about .75" at 100yd! I'm very supprised at the good start. This rifle has NEVER shot under 1.5" w/ any factor loads. Today I got a hornady comparator (and a chronograph) from the ups man, so that'll help out a lot. On the barrel cooling I thought about it at the range, & I just keep the hottest exterior point (6 in forward of recoil lug?) of the barrel down below 100F. This mandated about 5 minutes btwn shots using 54gr & 150 VLD's. I figured this made since for developing a hunting load. Is this a little over board? I used a laser temp gun. Does anybody else have a better method or temperature to make sure barrel temp stays in range and consistant? When testing for seating depth, will this affect group size horz & vert or just vert? Just so I don't miss read the wind effects for a bad load. Thanks again for the great info, I'll continue to read and grow my addiction to this new hobby:D [/QUOTE]
