[QUOTE="RuninL8, post: 2063027, member: 109233"] So, despite everyone giving you tips and what works for them, it all comes down to your barrel harmonics and what is known as the big 5 for accuracy, on a factory rifle IMO. They are the crown, bore of the barrel, bolt recoil lugs, trigger, and bed job in the stock. These are fairly simple things to make a factory gun shoot better, not great, but most of the time better. Reloading is a whole different animal, there are so ways and components to systematically check. If you have specific bullet you are wanting to run, then you will have to play with powder, primer, and seat depth combos....thats assuming you are using and reusing brass correctly(a whole different topic) to get a precise load. If you are willing change bullets, then I would start with a good non-sensitive powder and start changing bullets. If those 139s did not shoot well you need to move up and down 20 to 50 grains in bullet weight and try again, see if you get better or worse precision. Harmonics is what it's all about.
