[QUOTE="Swiftkill, post: 1632696, member: 104167"] Id limit big cartridges to 3 round groups. Let cool a little. Do you have a friend who is a better shot than you and maybe see what he or she can do with the gun? Also what rest are you using? If you're using a by pod it's not gonna be as consistent as a front rest and rear sandbag. Also depending on what the bipod is on it can bounce and drag on a table. A front rest helps you get the same pressure point on the forearm. Also, what trigger do you have? I prefer 1 to 1.25# single stage triggers. 3,4,5 # triggers are much more difficult to manage. Also, some loads can be attrocious. Try something that doesnt seem like it should shoot and yo might be surprised. Also, make sure your stock screws are tight. 25 -50 in lbs. I find the best place to start is 35 in lbs. Assuming you have solid bedding, not wood alone. Some people make the rear screw tighter than the front screw I would say it's best just to make it even and snug you don't want to stress the action one way or the other. [/QUOTE]
