[QUOTE="HARPERC, post: 861236, member: 30671"] It kind of depends on what your goal is. Simple stuff, I'm curious as to how much spread in velocity you're getting from high to low. Sometimes a primer change will tighten things up. Case prep, how many firings per case are you getting etc. Change bullets. You're getting some decent groups and some not as good I don't know what to expect from a lead sled as far as consistency goes, but are you getting well set up each time. The rifle itself. A little fore end pressure added or removed can sometimes make a difference. I've seen a little fore end pressure, help light sporters chambered in magnum calibers more than once. Some folks will grimace, but it doesn't take much to find out. If it's free floated take strips of tape until you have light contact then one at a time from there. If you've got contact relieve those points. It's all trial and error. What happens at 200 yards? Could be you're getting out of the rifle what its got. [/QUOTE]
