[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 462605, member: 25383"] the problem with the .005" slop in the press is that the bore is worn eleptical. No real easy way to fix that (well there actually is, but it's a pain). The vertical stringing may come from the wind being at your back, or your shooting into the wind. It won't take much to change point of impact. Another thing is that as the barrel heats up the point of impact will slightly change (how could it heat up in -16 degree weather?). I think I'd ask aroud to see if any of your buddies has a few Federal 210 mag primers they can give you. In that cold you may want a slightly hotter primer for better ignition. And surprisingly a tenth or two of grain here or there maybe all you need to really dial it in. I remember a guy that had a .270 Savage, and he just kept tweeking and tweeking here and there till he was shooting groups as small as .32" (I said I didn't believe it till he showed me the targets) gary [/QUOTE]
