[QUOTE="tjonh2001, post: 218005, member: 8970"] you cant get mad at your barrel. you are starting to see results. i shoot a 6x47lapua for f class and i am shooting 105 berger vlds with h4350. i was having a heck of a time getting those bullets to shoot. i actually pulled the gun completly apart. and put it back together after cleaning everything. i then had it re bedded. after that i started my loading again. i was also only shooing at 100 yards. so i was able to go and do load work up with nate at straight shot gunsmithing. i shot at 100 yards and results were about 1/2 to 3/4 but when we started shooting that same load at the 600 yard results were excellant. 1/2 easy if i was doing my part. that same load i shot at our last f class and we shot 15 scored shot and scored a 148 with 4x's out of a possible 150. shoot farther... If i were you i would take you 48 grain load and start with the one that looks the best. then make 7 reloads of each seating depth. seating them .005, .010, .015 further out. then go and shoot 3 shot groups and see what you get. watch for your pressure.this way you can shoot (2) 3 shot groups and if you get a bad break on one you have a spare. then go back and reload 10-15 more of them and go shoot 5 shot groups to make sure that they are consistant. if they dont shoot after this change bullets or powder.
