[QUOTE="RidgeTine, post: 1757744, member: 111988"] I’ve had this Remington 700 youth in 243 with a 20 in barrel that hasn’t shot that well until I put 38 grains of Hodgon 4350 behind a 100 grain Nosler ballistic tip. Anymore powder than that and doesn’t do well. Question I have; is there unburned powder affecting the accuracy? 38 grains on left and 41 grains of powder to right in photo. Another note I sanded out the factory stock forearm to free float the barrel. It’s not bedded and this is the first outing I’ve had with a free float barrel. Mind you this is the first outing I’ve had where there’s actually been a pattern. I don’t think this barrel liked all the pressure the stock had on it. [/QUOTE]
