I talked to Butch Searcy today and he also thought I should first try reducing the velocity. It was interesting that the gun was supposedly regulated with Remington 180 gr factory ammo and when I tried that ammo it still crossed. In fact every load I tried from 168 gr bullets to 200 gr bullets crossed more or less to the same extent. I tried six different bullet weight and powder combinations. This weekend I'll try it without the scope and see what happens and then with the best grouping load ( 180 gr Nosler Bts) I'll try speeding em up and slowing them down. Butch thinks in the end I may have to re-regulate the barrels. He explained the process in some detail and said he will walk me through it. I don't think it's beyond my capabilities and it would be a good learning experience. Worst comes to worse I'll have to re-blue the barrels . No I won't wreck it!-Rob
