[QUOTE="greenejc, post: 1976932, member: 60453"] There's always lots of advice. Some is good,some not so good. Yours is pretty good. I'm retired and have more time than maybe is good for me, so I could probably do all this over a couple of months. He might be limited in time, but this might work. I figure that he and his gunsmith have already verified the scope and mounts, but maybe not. I think if its shooting into the same group, even if the group is 2 inches, the scope isn't walking. Whenever I have had a scope fail in its adjustments, it has resulted in a second or third shot 5 or more inches off at 100 yards, and a complete change in impact for a subsequent shot. If his groups are consistent in the impact area(centered on point of aim) even if they are large, its probably not the scope or mounts. And its easy to check, because you just check screws for tightness. If I had a gunsmith mount a new barrel, I'd have had him check the scope, mount and rings. Actually, I did that this summer, and the gunsmith did just that. As to the other, its good advice. I'd just do .5 grain increments, because I'm basically lazy and want to shoot more than I want to do load development. Besides, I'm quite satisfied with 1" groups from any of my rifles except my Heavy Barreled 30-06, 25-06 or the varmint weight .308. [/QUOTE]
