[QUOTE="DJ Fergus, post: 1912248, member: 93895"] I wish I could give you some useful tips. I mostly just shoot heavy barrels. The last Sporter weight barreled rifle that I was serious about took me a while to master so I'm probably not the best to give advice about those. I can tell you that particular rifle was very sensitive to powders that created much barrel heat and it took me along while to figure that out. Of course, it was a hammer forged Sporter weight barrel, go figure. It so happened that RL17 was the coolest power I had to run in it and it worked. I'm not suggesting that you run RL17 or that it's a great powder but it was what I had. I guess my point is that hammer forged Sporter weights can be difficult but not impossible to get what you want out of them. This may have not helped you at all, I'm just thinking out loud, LOL [/QUOTE]
