Thread: Load development/Gun Smith

If you had good groups then you can't repeat them and the scope is on tight then I can only think of a dirty riffle. If you have cleaned the copper out then try carbon killer to get rid of all the carbon. I have the same riffle as you and to be fair I was getting 3 and a half inch groups at 100 meters with factory loads, I reloaded using 70.5 gr of ADI 2217 with 162 gr ELDX a load I was given by a good bugger on this forum. I lightened up the trigger as you have done and I put on a decent scope Swavo Z 5 and now it's deadly. I use carbon killer and it is amazing, it has to be something like that so long as your loads are consistent (question the Lee stuff) but other praise it so who knows. Would be interested in seeing your targets and what the groups are like as it could be as simple as your barrel touching your rest which will throw your shot. There are some very experienced re-loaders and crack shooters on this forum who I thought would be all over this and come up with some good ideas.

I hope you get it sorted mate
