I have the NF SHV 5x20 x 56. They run $1100-1300. Although this is a lower level NF, I have been extremely pleased with this optic...

Gentlemen, Thanks for all the inputs, the rifle is shooting. Deep clean, lug bedded and other bedding cleanup. Just put 6 shots in...

BTW I decided on using the 160 ABs that were running 2900. I’ll do a ladder in 1/10gr increments moving up from 58.7gr.

Update… I pulled the rifle apart, bedded the recoil lug and also found that the stock had some paint from the OEM slightly over the...

I’d shoot one or the other. I have shot many rounds of 180 hybrids at near the same velocity, then shoot 10 monos, switch Back to...

Two things standout here, stock is not bedded in the recoil lug, bed it tight everywhere except underneath the lug. The rifle should be...

It’s not a light profile barrel, it’s a varmint profile. All of you guys have given me some areas to check on the rifle and things to...

I use a Whidden universal bushing for measuring at the ojive base to check the seating depth when loading. Very accurate setup, I...

Both 280ai barrels I’ve had have been picky about fouling and shoot best when cleaned then just fouled a little. My consistency goes...

I have an 8 twist 280ai and only shoot copper Hammer bullets and it doesn't foul quickly. Easiest barrel to clean actually. My guess is...

As I ponder the fouling, the fast 1:8 twist and 2900fps may be a quick fouling combination with Barnes monos. Shouldn’t a fast twist...

On my 700 the lug is bedded entirely in that area. Super tight fit. Its good to try different brands but if I was having any issues I...

And try another 1/10 gr powder to see if it stabilizes.

I’ll check the screws, lug position etc, clean the barrel and no commingle the monos. Thanks
