[QUOTE="Steve Shelp, post: 22471, member: 22"] SR90, We're getting there. Nothing spectacular yet due to very bad conditions in the last 3 matches, but I've got 2 relay wins in that period with it and the 3rd target was very competitive. Last Saturday my group was 14" but it was all left/right because we had big time switches in the wind. The up/down was in the 5-6" range of the 14" group though. Would've won the shoot-off if I hadn't had a problem chambering round #6. I think I jammed the bullet back into the case some. I had a 20" group in the shoot-off. 9 shots were in 9-10" with one straight down just about a 1/4" from the bottom of the paper for the 20" overall. But that's why we measure all 10 shots. 15" won the relay and his was a lot wider than my 9 shots. It was very bad conditions. We've got a 2 day match in up in VA this weekend. Hope to have some good conditions to see what it will really do. I did shoot a 4 1/2" group at the NC club a couple of weeks ago just testing it though. Dave, I've got ACAD R14 on my home PC (use to be a draftsman) if you want to email your drawing to me. I've got a few questions on the action and barrel block setup that I would like to see first and go from there. We did an experiement 15yrs ago with a bedded action and barrel channel that didn't work very well. But your going further with the complete block also. Not looking to steal any secrets, but have some concerns with blocking the action and barrel at the same time that your drawing may answer. FYI: remember our discussion a couple of weeks ago about carbon buildup in the throat area and keeping after it......?? guess what got me at the next match! Just a little humbling. It wasn't in the rifling/throat area, it was actually in the chamber neck area so bad that I couldn't chamber a round after my 4th sighter round.
