It grouped fairly good for me shooting it for the first time. We didn't end up have enough time to get the zero bang on at 100 metres I think but a group of 5 shots was not much more than an inch across.

So you recommend pushing the shoulder down a bit with a die or using a bit of lube on the case before firing?

I tried a fired case but it ended up damaging the neck. Not keen to try a live case even with the firing pin not cocked.

Sounds a bit like TR's new rig. There was a tag in the neck area of the chamber. Got the chamber cleaned up and polished. Now fired cases will feed back in.
