[QUOTE="rscott5028, post: 644404, member: 24624"] Be sure your scope mounts are good and solid. Scopes shouldn't easily get bumped off the paper. If you're getting lots of fliers, then something's not quite right with your equipment, load recipe, or technique. What cartridge are you shooting? What's your barrel length and twist? How far off the lands are you? And, how did you determine that? What kind of dies and brass prep procedure did you use? What's the ID of your sized neck? (bullet tension) Did you begin to see any signs of pressure as you got to the 44gr loads? 1.0 gr step size is a lot. You can easily miss an accuracy node. It seems like this was a good confidence builder for you and you got a glimpse of what you can do. But, you may want to start again and shoot only one 3 shot group at .5gr or even .3gr steps from minimum to maximum watching for accuracy nodes and signs of pressure. Nice start though. -- richard [/QUOTE]
