[QUOTE="Mike027, post: 939613, member: 5816"] Roger I went to the range on Sunday and really tried to pay attention on the level of recoil and how I was holding the rifle. At the end of the session I really wondered if the brake would help keep me on target for follow-up shots. I think the addition of the cheek rest will help. I will look into the shoulder past as well. I tested some loads at 200 yards. I couldn't stay long but here is what I came up with: .697" = Sierra 160 g Sierra Gameking with 62 grains of R19 .2681"= Berger 168g with 68.5 grains of H1000 1.627" = Berger 168g with 68.6 grains of H1000 1.802" = Berger 168g with 68.7 grains of H1000 1.802" = Berger 168g with 68.8 grains of H1000 The above loads were with Federal 215 primers. I tried one load with with the Berger using 67 grains of H1000 but with a CCI 250 primer and that group measured 1". I was quite pleased to see the results with the CCI as the Fed 215s are getting scarce around here. Thanks for the tip on the pillars. To be honest I have not pulled the stock to check the bedding but I will do that. I don't want to mess up a good meat getter so I may ask the local smith to look it over and do the necessary work. Thanks all for the suggestions. Mike [/QUOTE]
