[QUOTE="DXHI, post: 1600328, member: 89566"] Spoke with Steve about 3 months ago, ordered some bullets and just now getting around to load development . I love this gun but the past 2 days have been frustrating equipment wise. First tried to seat .01 off the rifling, but wasnt possible due to feeding issues. The small hollow points kept getting hung on the feed ramps, backed off to .02, .03...finally had to go to .1 off the rifling to get reliable cycling which wound up giving me a shorter COAL length than SAAMI... Was a little worried but since these bullets are sensitive to sweating depth said WTH I'll still give a go. Tried running my ladder, and after 2 sets ...nothing on paper, was worried was the seating depth causing issues....went to town, bought a box of factory.....yeap nope still not on paper.. keep in mind this thing was dead nutz accurate 6 months ago...re bore sighted...managed to get on paper..but unable to re-zero as windage dial just free spinning...[ATTACH=full]127334[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]127334[/ATTACH] Long story short, I was able to get one ladder shot @100 yds... AAANNNDDD I think I managed to do it with the right charge Very happy with the powder steve recommended and with how they shoot. 31gr Hammer Hunters 30 grains CFE223 5 shot group measured .48" If I did the math right its .27 MOA? Now in the mean time ...gotta get my scope repaired ..reconfirm the results today...and try on Wiley coyote.. [/QUOTE]
