[QUOTE="Joefrazell, post: 2459655, member: 101262"] Make sure the bedding is good/ all screws ect and then move to a different powder if that doesn’t work try a different bullet. I’ve got a rifle that shoots in the .2-.3’s regularly and with a load it doesn’t like with a different powder/ bullet I’ve seen .8-1.3” groups. My point is that if your barrel doesn’t like something it may never shoot it well so don’t get stuck on one combo. My limit is 3 bullets/ powders. If a rifle won’t settle down with 3 then I’m moving on. But that’s usually 300 rounds or so so I’m definitely giving them a shot. Pun intended. Sometimes it’s best to try a ladder test even at 100 yards and just work up to pressure. Do that with a couple combo’s and one may really stick out as having more potential. If one ladder shows 4 moa and one shows 1.5 moa group then that’ll give you some good clean data to make a easy decision. It’s a good way to test multiple bullets/combos and find a load with less hassle and do it using less components. [/QUOTE]
