[QUOTE="bitbythebug, post: 1119916, member: 90401"] Went to the range the other day with many rounds to ladder test and found several that were very accurate so I came home and developed around those and went back out and shot some great groups. I found the 215's to be very accurate at 3.79coal, nosler brass, cci250 primers, RL-25 at 83.5grs. Shot a 5shot group of 2.25" at 300 yds but 4 were inside 1"averaging 2988fps. I am going to bump the powder .2grains hoping to get to or above 3000fps and then I think I can order my dial. I started the ladder at 3.85coal and worked down with everything else all the same. I also solidified the table I was shooting from and I think that helped also. As of right now I am very happy with the bullet and the gun but it has been a long journey. P.S. I also haven't deep cleaned the barrel for a while and it seemed to get more accurate the more rounds I put through it. I probably have 150-200 rounds through the new barrel and close to 50 since I deep cleaned it ( I run an oil swab through it occasionally). I think it is becoming more accurate as it fouls up. My smith told me after break-in to let it "copper up" as he had found that to make them more accurate. Seems to be right. [/QUOTE]
