fireman204 So tell what groups your barrel shoots.
It's hard to detect good luck, It looks so much like something you've worked hard for and earned.

Dropped 50 shots down the new tube yesterday, so far looking very promising.

Did the a 300y ladder yesterday after 20 shots, and the 26.6, 26.8, and 27.0g charges of Benchmark all placed w/i 0.5" of each other.

(using 32gr VAmx's, Nosler brass, CCI small magnum primers)

Its early in the game though...

Well, I'm doing 2" 5-shot groups @ 300y, so it seems the .5" was just a lucky pop. I'm still hoping I can squish it down with recoil control, whixh is quite a bit different than what my Savage VLP does. I'm usre I've eeked everything I can out of the loading process. The only thing I haven't adjusted is the primer. CCI small rifle magnums for now.
