Hello everyone
Just found this site after watching the TV show. So far it looks like what i have been searching for. I have a question regarding a new rifle i picked up a couple weeks ago. I found a new remington CDL fluted stainless in 257 weatherby. I have always been a sako and cooper guy and never owned a remington before so i thought i would run it thru its paces. I picked up a box of factory 100gr SP and was getting 1.5" groups which didnt impress me much. I started to work up loads with the barnes TSX and Partitions with RL 25 and IMR7828ssc. I can get an occasional .5" 3 shot group but when i get to 5 shots (letting the barrel cool between shots) the groups open up to 1.25" I am using winchester LRM primers and weatherby brass. I would like to see what this rifle can really do but feel like it is my reloads. Any suggestions to powder/primer/bullet selection would be appreciated. as you know there are many variables out there.
