[QUOTE="Etienne de Waal, post: 737275, member: 55259"] Matt, I shoot a very old Musgrave 243 with a 24 inch barrel. I haven't shot it much past 200m, but at 100m a three shot group will clover leaf and at 200m all three shots will be within a 1 inch by 1 inch block. I use Somchem S365, which is similar to IMR 4350, and seat my bullets roughly the equivalent of 0.1 inches off the lands (this may well be different for your rifle). I hunt with the 105gr AMAX, 100gr Gamekings and 95gr Nosler Partitions and normally look 2600fps in the 105s and 2800 - 2900fps in the other two bullets. Try changing your primers, as I found that just changing from the normal Federal primers to the Federal Match 210 primers made a big difference in accuracy. Another trick an old hand showed me is consistent (and deeper) flash hole uniforming - that also helped grouping a lot! Hope this helps! Good luck! Etienne [/QUOTE]
