I got my Chapuis 450-400 3 back from JJ.

He re regulated it with Hornady 400gr DGX,. Shoots great once more. He could not figure out why it went to hell on me, but the problem appears to be solved.

My question is in regards to handload a to match the factory load. Even when I get the velocity close with the same DGX it does not shoot nearly as well. I can't quite get my head around the "magic" of regulation. Does any one have a load that comes close to matching the Hornady factory load?

All I want is a double under $15,000 that shoots 1/2 groups at 150 yards, is that to much to ask? Seriously though, if the rifle shoots 2.5 inch 4 shot groups at 100 yards with factory ammo, I should be able to do better then 4 inches with reload, right?
