[QUOTE="Sludge, post: 54356, member: 1928"] Thanks for the reply guys I have been thinking about a jewel trigger, but before I dropped another 250 bucks in this rifle I wanted to see it group a little better. Thus far it has been a little under a 1 MOA gun. Out of 5 round groups it will put about 3 or 4 in one small ragged hole lets say about 1/2 MOA then it will throw a flyer. The bullets I have been working with thus far were the following. Sierra MK 168 HPBT Hornady V-Max 168 Ballistic Tip BT Hornady National Match HPBT 180 Nosler 180 Ballistic Tip BT Berger 210 HPBT I dont have my reloading log infront of me at the moment, but if I remember right my speeds were just a hair under the Sierra Manual for the R-25. This used Sendaro also had a break on it so perhaps this has changed the velocity a small bit. Do they hurt or help accuracy? I can shoot the gun all day with or without it. However, I leave it on most of the time just to protect the crown and the threads. As far as the powder loads, when doing it with the beam im down to either taking or giving one small stick of powder. The loads are as perfectly matched as I know how to make em. I havent used Badger rings before. However, I have purchased accessories for my AR15 from Badger. So, I know where to go to look. My neck turning cleans up most cases, but doesnt quite clean em all up. I trimmed enough down to take almost all the inconsistancy off the necks. I was afraid to trim more. After about 20 rounds or so I clean with JB Bore Cleaner (maybe 80 passes or so) then I use Montana Extreme bore solvent to get the JB out followed by about 40 passes of JB Bore Bright. Followed again by the Montana until the patch stays white. Then I run a couple passes through with CLP and one dry patch to clean up. Am I over cleaning? [/QUOTE]
