[QUOTE="RangerBrad, post: 547958, member: 29387"] I'm sure yal are right about the break in. My shooting was spot on but the groups wern't very good and as I said they varied alot even from the same ammo. The first time I took it out the Hornady 117 gr sst did 1moa while the HSM berger 115 gr did 2 moa. today was just oposite and even worse I may shoot 5 rounds and have 1 moa, let the barrel cool and take 5 more shots of the same ammo and get 2 moa but, I've only shot 40 rounds through it but I wouldn't have thought it would shoot this bad but, when I got it from the smith I screwed down my weaver mounts put my old simmons pro50 in the rings and eyeball leveled it up and tightened everything down. This scope's ridden this rifle for 13 years and has always been a shooter. Figured that would be plenty to find a group. Anyway, back to my thought on this round. My thought is to take the best of both worlds, using the superformance powder from the Hornady round and the high bc berger bullet from the HSM round, play with grains of powder and oal and hopfully will find something great. Even the 1 moa groups aren't going to be good enough to suite me. I'm going to have to tighten this way up. My new NF NXS, mount and rings should arrive the 3rd of Oct. with these properly installed, cartridge worked up and barrel broke maybe things will be ok, if not it's back to the gunsmith. I know this was a long rant, Sorry. Thank's, Brad [/QUOTE]
