Original post:
You may remember the post from a couple weeks ago. I was getting lousy groups with two centers.
I relieved two spots of pressure on the barrel, at the handguard and at the front band.
Then tried again. This time the groups were more 'normal', i.e. random about a point not strung vertically. Unfortunately I did introduce another variable, as I changed from the 3x9 scope at 9x to my old stand by 4x. It is possible the cheap 3x9 scope was the 'problem' and not holding vertically.
Next time out I have a 10x leupold fitted and we will see what I can do when I can see the lines on the target!
Best group was with norma ammo, just under 2" at 100 yds, some of Dave's reloads with 4064 powder went to just under 3". Unforutnately now I'm out of norma ammo, and will go back with daves loads in 3031 and 4064.
Hey Dave, send more ammo!Please.
The picts below recap from two weeks ago and the second target is from from this week.
Third is the little 20mm Chinese 4x scope.
