[QUOTE="TAJ1911A1, post: 1593922, member: 109238"] Not being a reloaded (yet) you need to pick up as many flavors that you can afford, find ANY post like thing that will let you hang a PC of yarn or ribbon from it ( coat hanger to get it away from the post) even a round nosed shovel stuck in the ground at an angle and some bags of something to shoot from to do your testing. That caliber/chambering combo is very much susceptible to wind. Also clean at close intervals. Copper build up in factory bbls is the norm for mass produced bbls. Carbon fouling hurts as well. Without paying close attention to the above is similar to trying to turn in consistent hot laps without checking/setting tire pressures and using different tire sizes at random. When you do find something acceptable, buy all you can afford OF THAT LOT. Lot #s usually found inside a flap if not on the outside. Reloading is something to consider when affordable. My ADL started w 2 boxes of 80 gr factory .243, RCBS dies, a pound of IMR 4895, 100 primers, a scale loaded by a teaspoon and the Lyman 310 Tool ( affectionately called the nutcracker). Quite a few ground hogs tallied. Then a Rock Chucker which I still have.....plus others of course over the last 54 yrs. [/QUOTE]
