[QUOTE="lhead71, post: 1678189, member: 41173"] I have tried several brands of ammo and even mixed up bullet weights and they seem to shoot to almost the same point of impact, which I guess is more typically of a full length bedding job. I only use handholds these days because I am getting some really small groups for such a light weight rifle. I do not clean between groups or at all until I see a drop off in accuracy, I think i cleaned my 7mm-08 once after around 150 rounds. I still haven’t cleaned the swede. I have not fired a once a day group, but I have shot the rifle about 3 times a week for a few weeks when I first got it. Now, I don't shoot much for groups anymore, since it is a hunting rifle. I use a cold bore shot at 100 to make sure nothing shifted and then straight out to 400 yds for a 6 inch steel plate. The only reason to go back to groups would be to try a new load, my current loads place three in a clover leaf that I can hide under a dime, more accurate than needed for hunting deer. Maybe I’ll try some new loads when the weather stops being hot enough to fry the last brain cell I have. [/QUOTE]
