[QUOTE="fishfurlife, post: 1652269, member: 15170"] This is just a hunting rifle with factory everything on it. The only upgrades are a tuned trigger to about 2 lbs of pull and then hand loaded ammo. At this point, I have tested about 20 different powder/bullet combinations out of it and have achieved 1.25" group thus far with 2 of the loads. I know I can get better than this and would like to see at least .625" at 100 yards. I am capable of it as a shooter and have achieved it with other "stock" guns that I own. I have used the method quoted above to work up loads. I load up 3-5 rounds per powder measurement with .5 grain increments and all have COL that is consistent with all rounds. Now I am at a point that I think I can take one of the loads that got me a smaller group and start to tune it up. I trim my brass after every shot in an effort to keep everything consistent.
