[QUOTE="RT2506, post: 1134312, member: 10178"] I have fooled with a number of these rifles and have many of the different models. Here are some tips to make accurate handloads. Slug the bore first. These rifles have various diameter bores. Get some .315 diameter muzzle loader lead balls and drop one into the chamber end and start it down the bore by using the metal cleaning rod that came with the rifle by placing a piece of wood on the end and driving it with a hammer to get it started. Then use 6" long pieces of wooden dowel rod dropped on top of the lead ball and pushed through with the metal rod. Measure beteen the high spots on the slug which are where they filled the grooves. If it measures .310 to .311 use .311 diameter bullets. If it measures .311 to .312 use .312 Hornady bullets. Most load data uses .308 bullets but I personally have not seen one of these rifles with a bore that tight. Prvi Partizan (SP?) has reloadable cases that are cheaper than Lapua and are very good cases. I have found that no matter what model rifle this load just plain shoots great. 50 grs Accurate Arms 4350, CCI 200 primer, with .311 Sierra 174 Match Kings or 180 Sp COAL 3.000 . If .312 bullets are needed the Hornady 174 RNSP COAL 2.790 and this is VERY IMPORTANT to accuracy. Use a Lee Factory Crimp Die with a medium crimp on all rounds. Have fun. Oh. That rifle looks nice.
