[QUOTE="KayakJack, post: 1565043, member: 108774"] Final Update: I got it dialed in! Which of the four factors was it...we'll never know...but I suspect it was the lead sled. I switched primers and tried IMR 4350, stepping it in 46, 47, 48, & 49 grains. 48 was the sweet spot. Sub-MOA. I also ditched the sled and used a front adjustable rest, with a rolled up t-shirt under the butt. I actually felt more stable this way too. Lastly, and probably a factor...copper fouling. Last week at the range I could see a lot of copper on the rifling at the muzzle. It was enough the Hoppe's copper remover couldn't get it. I treated it with Sweet's 7.62 last night. That was fast and EASY to remove all of the copper. I'm chalking it up to copper fouling and sled induced excess vibrations. [/QUOTE]
