[QUOTE="PGJPJ, post: 1213076, member: 90674"] Hey Guys. first, headed to the range today, and saw this guy in my neighbors yard. Glad I venture out great distances to hunt these elusive blacktail :rolleyes: Anyway this rifle has a fairly new barrel, 100 rounds through it now. It's a Pac Nor Super Match with a #3 contour and 1:8 twist. The barrel got a good cleaning 30 rounds ago, and these 3 sets represent the last 27 rounds of those 30 since cleaning. Action screws and scope mounting are all properly torqued… I think the basics are covered. I'm shooting Berger 168 grain VLD Hunting, and I did do the Berger method for finding proper seating depth. For the macro adjustments, I found 0.010" off the lands to do the best. So I wanted to start with latter charge testing with RL26. Sets 1 & 2 are just repeatings of 59.5, 60.0, and 60.5 grains powder. Groups weren't great, but 59.5 and 60.0 were showing potential. I thought I'd change seating depth a bit, and moved to 0.005" off the lands in set 3 (charges are the same as in the first two sets) In some ways it improved, but it seemed to increase the flyers. Anyway, where am I needing to go? Should I be changing charge? Or seating depth? Or is there something else I should try. I'm trying to only change 1 variable at a time. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
