[QUOTE="Akoutdoors, post: 854651, member: 67212"] Hi All, Iv got a 7mm tikka t3 light LH that's I've been having trouble getting any decent accuracy out of lately. I've shot cheap 175 federal from a lead sled into about 1", and I loaded up some 162 a-max that shot great with re119. Now using H4831 and 160 accubonds I am getting 5 inch groups. I thought maybe bullet weight could be wrong so I tried some 140 tsx and I got one good group but the rest were everywhere 8 inches. I then proceeded to shoot federal premium 150 ballistic tips and even they had about 4 inch group. 140 tsx were .050 off the lands as per Barnes recommendation. 160 accubonds were loaded .010 off I know I'm not a great shot but I was shooting my stock ruger .243 with 105 Amax at the same time and getting 2in or better groups even working up a load. So the question is this, is my scope/rings lose or bad? Or do I just need to keep playing with seating depth? Thanks [/QUOTE]
