[QUOTE="SuperBruce, post: 2744192, member: 120544"] I tried the the jump ladder. I was able to get a 7 shot group down to 0.7 MOA if you throw out the worst shot (so best 6). With all 7 it's 1.2 MOA. Interestingly, the best 6 is two very distinct clusters stacked right atop one another. I think that is likely good enough for a practice round from this rifle, but I'd want to repeat it. The bad news is that rounds shorter than that it's pretty ugly real fast and I can't really load longer without single feeding. So, instead of buying more I'll probably try a different bullet, maybe one of the heavier Hornady SST's since it loves the 125 SST so much. If anybody has suggestions for affordable bullets that shoot well in rifles that love SMK's, I'd appreciate any tips. Thanks again for all the info, this has been a great learning exercise. Hopefully it helps someone down the line who's having double groups themselves. [/QUOTE]
