[QUOTE="D.Camilleri, post: 35405, member: 2567"] New barrel is on and also a new scope(sightron 6-24) and a muzzle brake. My 210 grain barnes xlc bullets won't group. They are stringing left to right. Due to lack of time and patience, I loaded some hornady 225's in front of 92 gr. of rel 22 and they are shooting ok. Dropped two elk in 2 shots. Second bull was at 434 yrds. Need a little more time for load development. Might have to try some different powders. Have put quite a few rounds through and am still not real happy. Had a few problems, first the contoured muzzle brake sheared off while antelope hunting. Too thin. Next the scope kept slipping in the rings. Next couldn't get repeatability with the scope. Sightron had me a new scope in under a week. This heavy #5 contour is heavy to pack all day in elk country, but exercise it good right. [img]images/icons/rolleyes.gif[/img] [/QUOTE]
