[QUOTE="LongBomber, post: 2280404, member: 14435"] The 26N 129 factory loads are pretty poor from what I have seen. Just because they shoot a 3” group doesnt mean it is the gun. I bought 4 boxes at a deep discount and pulled them apart as I only wanted the brass. Seating depths varied .015” and the powder charge was a 2.5gr window.. which is pretty terrible compared to what is possible. #1 I would try another bullet, and it would be a copper mono. Likely the 127lrx .050-.070” off the lands. Pushed somewhere in the 3450-3500fps range. That is after making sure everything else with the rifle is spot on (rings/bases/scope/ bedding) [/QUOTE]
