I dont think anyones saying your way was off mate, some rifles just take a bit of faffing, guess its good to know that when the time comes there may be more gains to be had:thumbsup:

Well 3 steps forward and 2 steps back :oh noes: had some issues at the range today with what seemed like inconsistent grouping :pissed off:
Had me totally stumped till I got home and went over the rifle.
It never occurred to me that the old finnlight barrel and the new Tikka barrel might be slightly different in contour and diameter but clearly they are as part of my investigation revealed that the new barrel is touching the stock pretty muck most of the way from the action to the tip of the fore, it also looks like the taper is slightly different as it looks like it's been rubbing on a couple spots.
This issue was likely less pronounced when I was shooting prone off the ground as I load up the bipod a bit, however shooting off the bench at the handloaders range it's hard to load the bipod up as it just slides forward.
Anyway, will drop the rifle back to Zac and get him to re bed it and make sure the barrel is free floated, then I will load a small charge ladder at the 90thou off the lands seating depth and see if things become gravy once again :o
Im sure you NEARLY said some naughty words mate......... lets just hope you get your load sorted before you burn the barrel out or run out of components to feed it.
Steady on its only had around 30 max through it :yaeh am not durnk:Quote:

they enjoy being able to charge whatever the hell they like in times of short supply.
Thats a bugger Danny.Quote:

Bugger. Oh well, Ive still got that pkt of Norma 270 wsm ammo here to get you started for when the 270wsm barrel goes back on :) :)Quote:
