[QUOTE="tbrice23, post: 1051375, member: 59502"] Originally posted by Dragman I have had a gun that shot like a house on fire! complete good on load development and then changed scopes and had the harmonics change enough that I had to go back and change my loads. that is how critical some of the small stuff can be.[/QUOTE] I hate to hijack this conversation but... Yep, i have 7.5 lb savage 16 that i had an awesome load for. Then i re barreled it to a different caliber and replaced its light scoppe with a VX6 with 34mm tube which was much heavier. After hunting season i re-installed the origional barrel to the exact same headspace , exact same load as before and my awesome load shot horrible. The only thing that changed was the scope and maybe the temperature was 30° colder. I blamed the change on imr4350 being temp sensitive in a 300wsm case but never experienced any problems with any IMR powder before. Now im thinking that the heavier scope had more to do with this phenomenon than the powder and temperature. Comments??? [/QUOTE]
