[QUOTE="Outlaw6.0, post: 1072965, member: 23486"] Have you tried adjusting your seating depth? Longer, shorter etc? I'd also advise you to get away from the 100yd line. 200 is better & 300/400 is better yet, you'll really get a better understanding of what you load is doing at a longer range. How about a primer test? Keep your known variables: OAL, Brass, Charge etc & run a test with different primers. As Mud stated before, most 5R's shoot well however, just like any manufacturer, there are some turds out there too. I would also double check action screw torque, it can definitely effect your accuracy. I run my at 40in/lbs across the board as I've found more consistency at 40 than I have at greater torque. YMMV, of course & you should at least try it. With a the bedding block in your stock, I can't recommend you bed it right now. It's got to be pretty fubar for a bedding job to make a large difference. I advise saving that for last. Have you double checked to ensure your barrel is floated properly? You never know.... If your rig is shooting consistently at 1moa, I would tend to believe you're just an adjustment or two away from where you want to be. You may never achieve consistent 1/2moa but it should be able to go sub-moa anyway. There is nothing wrong with that A-Max, right now, i'd look at other variables before trying a different bullet. t [/QUOTE]
