[QUOTE="gabby, post: 237884, member: 6652"] Well guys I went out to the range last Friday and again yesterday. Friday I took out - H-4831 23@56 3 ea of 57, 58, 58.5, and 59 gr. I also had 3 ea of 5 loads in RL22. I can't tell you what they were as I pulled the bullets and threw the card away. All bullets were seated .005 off the lands. My 25-06AI came in so I took it and 50 fire-forming and loads. Of the 23- 270 rounds in 56 gr. 10 were 1 shot and clean the rest were for fouling shots and one 3 round group. At the first shot I noticed stiff recoil. Over the next several shots I kept checking the primers. I noticed they were getting on the flat side but also if you look at the firing pin indentation, on some there was a slight rise (like a little burr sticking up) along the edge. I shot a 3 shot 1 1/8" group (the best) . Then I shot 3 of the 57gr. Talk about RECOIL. The primers were just about if not flat. I quit and went home. I pulled all the bullets and reloaded with the bullets .020 off the lands. Yesterday I shot groups from from 54 to 55.5 gr. Even at 54 gr. It seems like it kicks harder than with the 30-06 barrel that was on it before. My smallest group was about 2 1/2". I think I'm going to have to break down a buy a chronograph. I'm going to put the rifle away until spring. I haven't given up on it. I'm just short of time. I am going to call my gunsmith and ask his thoughts about it.
