Ruger #1 is finally shooting!

• Hey guys I know that it has been a while since I posted but I finally got my Ruger #1 to group 3/4" which is good enough for the type of hunting that I do. Just wanted to say say thank you to you guys that gave me advice.

Was there one thing made a difference, or was it a little of this and that?
Not much you can't get done with 3/4" groups.

Just messing around with different powder charges and bullet weights. I wound up using 140 gr. Accubonds with 42 gr. of IMR 4320. And I wound up using a Hicks accurizer and that made a world of difference, but I don't know how it will keep zero so that will be interesting to see. By the way, it's chambered in 7x57 Mauser.

Glad to hear as I just picked up same gun although mine is a mannlicher.

Glad to hear you had luck. I could never get mine in 22-250 to group.

My 22-250 groups well, it is a heavy barreled 1V.

I have a 22-250 & and 220 swift that are both great shooters. Glad you got your 7x57 to shoot.

As was mine. Did you roll your own ammo?

Yes, I do not use factory loaded ammo other than 22LR for all my rifles. Many of my rifles have never seen a factory load.
