[QUOTE="bblaine2k, post: 53588, member: 1440"] St_Gunner, Ian and Highlander, Thanks for the great gong suggestions. I'm hoping to have them up and running soon. Gotta wait on my welder to get back from the beach. In the meantime, it has been trying out different loads. My initial increment testing from a 24 round broken in barrel gave good groups. 5- shot groups giving about 0.4 inches at 100 yards with H-1000 and those "non-hunting" 168 grain Matchkings [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img] Further up the scale though my groups started flying apart. SHOULD HAVE DONE THE LADDER TEST [img]images/icons/rolleyes.gif[/img] if I had known about it before. Boy that trigger was stiff. Once I get that working right, I'll start slinging lead. Actually went out and did some lasing of the ranges on my hunting ground, 700-800 yards is gonna be about the max I'll encounter. Doubt if I'll change the bullet setup so long as accuracy stays good with the 168 MK. Though I did get some 162 A-MAX as well to try. The search continues! Thanks for all the LR advice for someone new to the ranks! [/QUOTE]
