[QUOTE="top predator, post: 330811, member: 13514"] weighing ammo seemed to work for me through all the ammo i tested. along with lubing the bullet with alox bullet lube (i have a test of many ammo, and lube tests i should post) i would use a hollow point style for hunting, depending on what you are hunting for and at what distance. the round nose will be ok for squirrel. the weighing did change the vertical tracking a bit, but was still evident. i had actually did a little "redneck" gunsmithing one day and took a case chamferer used for reloading and made a crown on the muzzle. i thought 3 things when i did that: 1. ruined the barrel or have to take it to a real smith to recrown and fix my stupidity 2. no change in accuraccy 3. improvement in accuraccy turns out it actually improved the groups, and eliminated a great deal of v. tracking. i shot the original pictures after, here is before: [IMG]http://i633.photobucket.com/albums/uu54/WALTERRO/MK%20II/100YDAGUILATARGET.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i633.photobucket.com/albums/uu54/WALTERRO/MK%20II/200YDAGUILATPOSTIT.jpg[/IMG] i'm not suggesting that you do that with the crown, i was starting to loose a little accuraccy over the last few months and figured, what the hell? the mkii i have is a heavy barrelled 20", rifle basix trigger [IMG]http://i633.photobucket.com/albums/uu54/WALTERRO/MK%20II/MKIITOPFQUARTER.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
