[QUOTE="westcliffe01, post: 1099171, member: 35183"] Work your way up from the lightest to heaviest (in terms of ftlb of muzzle energy). Don't try to work on all of them at the same time. No point in making the same mistakes on all of them. Start with your 243 and put the others in the safe. Deal with trigger adjustment, bedding the action, free floating the barrel, get a press and a set of 243 dies, powder and bullets. By the time you have worked the kinks out of the 243 you will be able to anticipate some problems you may face with the next rifle. And you should have got in a lot of time on the range. Figure out how to properly focus the reticle and using the side focus to correct for parallax. If you do not have one yet, get a quality 22lr rifle. Like a CZ bolt action. Take that along to the range and do not shoot your centerfire rifle if you are not shooting excellent groups with the "little gun". It will save a lot of frustration with your load development in knowing whether it is yourself, the ammo or the rifle that is the cause of lacklustre performance. Because none of us is perfect and at times we have off days when one cannot do anything properly... [/QUOTE]
