[QUOTE=".300 Dakota, post: 2938908, member: 106514"] Update: changed stocks and remade same load, then increased charge 1.4 grains for 2nd load. After cleaning and 1 fouling shot, the group that had shot 1 1/2" now shot over 4". Something clicked between the 1st and 2nd. The hotter load printed a 1 1/8" group with the last 2 almost touching. I wonder if this is one of those that is extremely sensitive to small changes in load or just needed to get the bore really dirty to plane out? As far as handling with the new stock, it has tamed the brutal recoil. No issues now whatsoever other than muzzle jump, but that's nothing that causes any concern for me. I need to keep tweaking the charge or try dropping down to 150gr bullets. I would (and may well) hunt with it this year as it is, where it is. It's amazing how a different stock can change everything on a rifle. [/QUOTE]
