This is my third 20 practical. My first was a semi custom Remington 700. I didn't treat that gun well …rarely cleaned it and shot it way too many and shot too fast. Barrel was gone in no time.
I have a 20 practical with a 1:9 twist that I was going to use 55 grain Bergers, but they are very hard to find. my third is also on a semi custom Remington 700 but I have a 1:11 twist Barrel to specifically shoot the 39 and 40 grain bullets.
This one started out really well, but then started going south as you can see by the picture. The rifle is not bedded, and when I took it apart, I found an area in the Stocks recoil channel that the recoil lug was hitting on. I will Dremel it out and bed it and it should bring the Accuracy back.
With as expensive reloading components are nowadays, I decided to start shooting a little bit cheaper cartridges.
Primers have cratering…but no other signs of pressure. Factory fire pin/spring. I think I will change it out and see if that helps
Thoughts?
