[QUOTE="youngtrout, post: 795111, member: 5373"] Camper. What bullet are you using with those loads. Not pressing it too hard either Still staying within published loads Hodgton lists an extra 1.5 grains as max. My best group hit about 1 grain or so from max. Over that velocity started to level out and accuracy open again. Figured I found my sweet spot with h4831. Still need to give h4350 a go. Hodgton powders are the easiest for me to get I topped out at around 2900. About the velocities posted for a 24 inch barrel. I'm running a 26 Still only 50 rounds through and still copper fowling pretty good. We will see what another 50-100 will do Side note, breaking in another 260. Shilen select bull. Can't believe this barrel. 20 or so rounds and almost zero copper. I even changed cleaning a bit because I thought something was up! It's shaping up as a hammer to. For sure the most accurate rifle I've owned. First F Class shoot it two weeks with it. Super excited. Sorry for the tangent [/QUOTE]
