[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 110033, member: 10"] I would agree, first off, you need to get some heavier bullets, at least 150 gr and I would much prefer a 165 or 175 gr class bullet. Then get some H-4350 or H-4831 and load then up to good working pressures. I would do this long before I give up on that new barrel. The loads you list are barely starting loads. Accuracy is generally not the best with this light of a load. Is there a reason you are loading such a light load? Recoil issues or something like that? The black powder residue on the case tells you that you are not even running enough pressure to push the case against the walls of the chamber. This means you are probably in the 40,000 to 45,000 psi range. YOu really need to be much higher then this for good consistant performance. Don;t give up on the barrel until you get up to normal top end working pressures with bullets at least 150 gr in weight. Just my opinion, Kirby Allen(50) [/QUOTE]
