[QUOTE="Crowe284, post: 1300872, member: 97064"] Well boys, getting her figured out. I scoped the bore today and noticed a bad carbon ring in the barrel just past the lands. Should have cleaned it more thourghouly to begin with but just took it for granted that maintenance had been good. After removing carbon I loaded up 6 rounds .002 off lands with 57 grains of 4831sc and cci br2 primer. Shot two three shot groups. First went into .410 and second was .396. Now, I need to verify that es is acceptable and that the load will hold accuracy at distance but this was promising. This is a weatherby vanguard rifle with bell and Carlson stock and timmney trigger that is set at 1.5 lbs and very crisp. Intention of this project was to move my friends effective range from 300 to 600 yrs for whitetail and mulies. This bullet shooting around 2900 fps will get him there. Again not done just yet but very promising results today from an accuracy standpoint. Will load up some more to verify accuracy of load and cross fingers hoping es is acceptable. If everything works out, will then spend a weekend with him teaching him about dialing and mil/mil scopes. Will keep updating as i go along. Very pleased to make some progress today. [/QUOTE]
