[QUOTE="Mike 338, post: 1318531, member: 41338"] I may have it still around here somewhere. I have a new LRI barrel sitting around here somewhere and when I swap barrels, I usually trash old data. No bullets under 100 gr. were tested. I settled on 107 SMK's. Tried H-4831 but got ridiculous ES and MOAish accuracy. Tried some others but settled on RL-25 for best ES and accuracy. Seating depth: tried 10,20, 40, 80 and 120 thousandths jump. Nothing jammed. Tried various primers as well. Load development not necessarily done in order listed. Yes, I do still own it. I don't frequent this Board so I must apologize. I haven't read the entire 30 page thread and didn't catch what you do. I appreciate the offer. I did contact Ruger regarding my dissatisfaction with their general lack of accuracy and especially in this model. They suggested I send it to them which is all you can ask a manufacturer to do under the circumstances. I respectfully declined as I had already order a replacement barrel and for that reason, I will likely go that route before I ship it to anyone. I'm no perfectionist by any measure however I like my guns to shoot straight and my precision guns to shoot about 1/2 moa-ish consistently if I don't yank a shot. Mostly due to function issues, as of late, I've had to return firearms back to the manufacturer so many times, and some repeatedly, that it's become a sore spot with me. I find it aggravating when guns won't reliably go bang although the RPR functioned flawlessly. Again, thanks for the offer. [/QUOTE]
