[QUOTE="eshorebwhntr, post: 945098, member: 17112"] I believe the first post said he was using Hybrid's. Per Bryan Litz, they shoot as good .010 from the lands as they do .060 from the lands. The results out of my 7 STW echoed this. If you're hitting pressure earlier than you think you may have a tight chamber or a rough cut chamber with a dull reamer or a reamer that wasn't run smoothly. However, if it was cut true the accuracy probably wouldn't be a problem. Some of your loads look like they have a good bit of vertical stringing...what is the chrono reading? Does it back up the stringing issue? If you have <75 fps ES and are still getting groups like that at 100 yards something is likely misaligned in the action and needs to be reworked. imho if the rifle was built right you shouldn't have to spend as much time as you have to get into the sub moa range. I don't know when your deer hunt is but you might want to be looking for another smith quickly. I highly recommend Greg Tannel of Gre'Tan Rifles. I have 3 built by him and they all shoot great and are very tolerant of different loads and bullet brands. Another member recommended the RUM to save the barrel if the chamber is re-cut...not a bad idea. I would throw the STW out there as a possibility as well. Good luck in whatever direction you go. Hope you get something worked out for your deer hunt. [/QUOTE]
