[QUOTE="357Mag, post: 1732630, member: 106883"] Gene - Howdy ! Just out of curiosity..... how much trigger "pull" does your rifle's trigger have ? If somewhat heavy, there's not a whole bunch of after market triggers for M-70's. Have you tried Sierra 6mm 85BTHPs ? They are super consistent on wt, when checked over several boxes. And, can be made to shoot into tight groups ( IMHO ). And also, did you happen to say how much "jump" you've been using w/ your bullets ? I've had good success using .002" jump, for all 6mm bullets I have shot in my "Deep 6 " wildcat ( 29" SS 1-8 5-groove ). My gun, my loads... I realize. Fred Sinclair advised I start about .002" off the lands many years ago. I wildcat some, and .002" has worked ( for me ) for a whole host of various varmint/target rifles. It's a starting point. With regards, 357Mag [/QUOTE]
