[QUOTE="Badgerclaw, post: 1609721, member: 101780"] Your measuring your best two shots from that group. Still a good group but you need to measure center to center of the two widest shots. I could shoot a one shot group and make the calipers read anything from .000 to .284. Other than that. It's an awesome group. Your probably hitting presure because you don't have as much freebore in your rifle as Peirce's rifles. I would chronograph your load, zero your scope and then let your rifle sit with a dirty barrel. Take that load on a different day with different weather conditions, and see if your cold bore shot and velocities remain consistant (with 5 shot groups). I've shot some awesome 3 shot one hole groups out of a clean barrel, only to take it out the next day and have a terrible cold bore shot, followed by 4 shots with velocities all over the place with the same load. My conclusion was that I had two lucky misses during load development that landed in my first shot hole. Long story short, if your going to stick with a load and run with it, shoot a 5-7 shot group over a chronograph and validate it [/QUOTE]
