[QUOTE="gwtx, post: 918400, member: 41901"] lloydsmale, Thanks for the reply. I'm using the H4350 now, and was thinking of trying the IMR4350, but I've got a couple of pounds of H on hand. I'm going to try some CCI large rifle primers,and also some magnum primers. The rifle actually shot some factory stuff slightly under an inch(.974") right out of the box after initial cleaning. So, I'm pretty sure it will do better with the right load. I had a little trouble getting a good measurement with the stoney point oal gauge. Kept getting different readings. Tried some of the other methods of measuring(rod in the muzzle to the bolt face and then to a bullet in the lands) etc. The measurement I came up with(backed off .007") stuck the bullet in the lands and pulled the bullet when trying to eject it. So I backed of another .010". The ruger chamber is quite a bit shorter than my remington '06. I have bought 5 or 6 rifles under $500 in the last few years(since savage got everyones attention) and they all shoot under 1", and I'm not a "good shot". I've been amazed at the accuracy of the "cheap" rifles, and wonder why it took so long for the manufacturers to let'em out of the bag. Thanks again for the advice, I'll keep working on it. [/QUOTE]
