[QUOTE="tstarky, post: 715974, member: 54641"] The rifle seems to favor Berger VLD 168gr. with 64 grains of re 22. The Sierra 175 grain looks promising also. See the group vertical maximum chart. It is in inches. The Berger 168gr. vertical max for the 3 round group is 4.2" at 500 yards. I would like to see 2". The Sierra 175 vertical max for the 3 round group is 9.2" at 500 yards. Also note that the feet per second charts show fairly stable velocities. These are indicators that we are on track to find the "magic" bullet/powder combination. I installed the B&C stock last night and am waiting for the bedding that I added to cure. It has a aluminum integral bedding block and a raised area near the front of the stock where the barrel is. The barrel/action assembly sat on the rear piller (at the action) and the barrel sat on the raised area near the front of the stock. There was a gap between the front pillar (front trigger gaurd/action bolt area) bedding area and the action. When I began to tightened down the 2 action bolts the presure began bowing the barrel/action assembly and/or the stock. I removed some of the stock material from the front area to lower the action and close the gap. I was carefull to insure that the rest of the barrel stayed free floating. The gap shrank but there still was a small gap left. I then bedded using Acruglass at the piller areas where the action seats to the stock. I will see how it shoots and if not satisfied I intend to remove the raised area near the front of the stock wher the barrel rides, free floating the barrel the entire length. Does anyone have any comments or opinions about this raised area near the front to the stock where the barrel rides. I have seen it on the B&C and the stock Remington XCRII stocks. Why is it there? I will continue testing this weekend with some other powder bullet combinations and 5 shot groups of the promising combinations noted in this post. BTW The Berger 168g VLD hunting bullet has a hollow point and they are finding that this round is opening up in flight. They are redesigning to fatten the narrow missle like projectile. I ran into Carl recently at the Ben Avery range testing these new bullets and am looking forward to the results. [/QUOTE]
