[QUOTE="herbeapuce, post: 770907, member: 3157"] thanks everyone for trying to help me. I am listening to all you are saying. I did free float my tikka t3 varmint stainless ( 24"barrel, 1 in 10 twist ) it is very easy to do with sandpaper and masking tape btw. I also changed the aluminium recoil lug for a stainless steel one. I also open the synthetic stock ( Tupperware stock some call it) where the lug is sitting and bedded the lug into the stock. I have a nice wiha German made torque screw driver and I the gun is torqued to tikka's spec. my trigger is really good. it's light and crisp. I love it. it's always a surprise when it goes I have a good choice of powders for my caliber. I had H 4831 but it's now empty. I do have a pound each of IMR 4831, Retumbo, reloader 22, IMR 4350, and also some H380 for my 22-250.. Last time I loaded Retumbo with magnum primers it wasn't good at all . I ended up not finishing my box. I hear what you are saying abouth OAL and I will start playing with it now... maybe my gun doesn't like a bullet almost touching the rifling, and this is how I did all my bullets...I did them all as long as possible.. I will also try more bullets. I tried the hornady sst 117, wasn't any better. one thing that I did not do is cleaning every other 11 shots or so. now could you describe what kind of cleaning are you doing ? are you cleaning mostly carbon build up or going after cooper fouling also ? how many strokes of bronze brush, if any... etc..I would appreciate if you could share your cleaning drill after each series.. @ dakota1tn -- I quote you: "I also aneal my brass after 4 fireings " I just wana make sure I understand you correctly ( English came late in my life...) By this are you saying you aneal the same case many times ? every 4 shots ? or should I understand this as that you aneal your new cases after their 4 th shooting, but only once? thanks guys . I learned many things here .... stef [/QUOTE]
