[QUOTE="trapper1954, post: 2947887, member: 128092"] How is your action bedded? Is your scope lapped in? Is your barrel free floating, enough? What kind of stock do you have? Harmonics is a big deal. Some 23 years back we used to have a fly contest Bandera Gun Club in Bandera Texas on lazy Sunday evenings , 5 house flys on a sheet of paper @ 100 yards, 5 shots, 60 seconds, $5 a try, winner take all. My wife beat all, hit all with an old 1955 Sako Rihimaki 222 varmint beaver tail. tightest group ever was 0.038 @ 100. ,, turned necks and squared pocket end. As I stated, harmonics, this was a big big deal with this particular rifle. It was barrel heavy and would slide off the Hart rest. I removed the but plate drilled a hole to fit a glass cigar tube full of #7 1/2 shot and was about 1# and would sit well unattended on bags. That experiment cost me everything, lost all the accuracy I had, it went to a 1.5 inch group. Took the tube out heated it up, poured hot parafin in it, wrapped it in layers of news paper, reinstalled and like magic its back to house fly tight. The action was glued in. So I start by bedding the action first, lap the scope rings next, Bullet seating depth is very critical and different gun to gun. I turn the necks on my brass. As an older man told me the projectile cant fly its best if its 0.005 off center of the bore from the git go. [/QUOTE]
