[QUOTE="Bigeclipse, post: 1125570, member: 52437"] It is a savage rebarreled with a custom barrel. This is not going to be a long range shooter so honestly it is shooting well enough BUT I just thought it weird it is grouping 2 bullets touching and then a random flyer almost all the time. I do measure base to ogive and I'm .010 off the lands right now with nosler 140 accubonds in a 7mm08. I always tighten the action screws with the barrel pointed up. Rifle is in a Boyds laminate stock which has pillars and glass bedding. I was shooting rather fast so barrel definitely could have been heating up but not so much that it was uncomfortable when I touched it. I honestly did not do a full load work up. Simply loaded 6 rounds up to max charge. Once I confirmed Max charge was still safe and shooting a good speed. I then loaded 4 rounds .5 grain below max and 4 rounds at max just to see how it shot. And those were the results I got with one of the loads. The other was not so great... about 1.25 in perfect triangle group [/QUOTE]
