[QUOTE="Oldschool280, post: 1256926, member: 94521"] I am loading for a carbine length 280, cant seem to get it where i want it with 160 grain bullets . Im grouping an inch at 100 yards with 160 game kings and rl22. With lighter bullets139 sst's i can group about half of that with the same powder. Have tried different charges (ladder) and have been anywhere from .040 to .010 of of the lands. Getting the inch in 160 grain at .020 off of the lands and 52.5 g rl22. I would like to get 1/2 moa with the 160's . Is this just the best I'm going to get out of this rifle? I should add , I have a 100 yard range that I've been working with this rifle on, The rate of twist is one in 9 1/4 [/QUOTE]
