[QUOTE="aaroncarp, post: 968039, member: 80044"] Thank you guys. The stock is aluminum pillar bedded, the action fits very tight in the stock. And as soon as I posted the thread I read the article on shooting berger bullets. My question now is what grain of powder should I do that with? 90 grains seems to shoot the best from what I have tried but I havent gone over 92 grains. When I started experimenting, I did not want to go over the max load in the manual. Now I am reading where people are getting 3100 and 3200 fps and 1/4 moa, with guns that are basically right out of the box, with 94 grains of retumbo and 210 grain bullets. I lost any accuracy I had when I added much more powder than 90-90.5 grains. Is it possible that those groups would shrink back down with more powder? Also, more powder means more barrel wear correct? And concerning primers, I havent actually read anywhere where people are shooting these remington primers, maybe they are junk? I dont know. I guess I did not figure that primers would make that big of a difference. What primers would you guys recommend shooting? I have a lot of CCI large rifle primers that I load for my 22-250 I suppose I could try those. [/QUOTE]
