Action screws torqued to 40 in/lbs?
MoBoost, yesterday afternoon I finally dialed the gun in for the wife to hunt with yesterday evening and only took 5 shots with me to the bench to adjust the scope.
I shot 3 shells to group and then adjusted, shot the other 2 to confirm the adjustments.
Anyways, I managed to get what I was looking for out of this gun. The 3 shot group was .485" which I am more than happy with. I didn't post it on the 100 yard thread because two of the shots on the paper were from after the adjustment on the scope. I will try to get it out and shoot a 5 shot group for your 100 yard thread.
Very nice! What load you ended up going with?
85 grain Sierra Game King HPBT
40.0 grns IMR 4350
COL 2.655"
40.0 grns IMR 4350
COL 2.655"
I load nosler 95gn ballistic tips over 41.4 gn's of h4350. This load is outstanding in my rem 700..........average .5-.75 100 yard groups of sandbags. prob would be better if I had a good bench though. I seat the bullet just off the lands. The 700 has had the trigger lightened and that is all the work that has been done to it. This load is almost a max load though so I would work up to it.
FISHFURLIFE, you probably should have just spared yourself all of the headache and sold that old boat anchor to me. I would have properly disposed of it for you. Still will, if you want.
That's awful nice of you! lol
