Re: a question on regulating the dr with hand loads

So I finally got to the range today to do some work-up on my d.r..

The results were:

Using a 250 gr. boattail accubond and a 270 gr hotcor, working the loads from least to most powder in one grain increments, the groups on average printed the right barrel dead on and the left barrel two point five to three inches left and seven to nine inches high of the first shot. The powder used was IMR 4064, primer was a WLR. Everything was loaded to SAMI specs. Rifle was shot to 100m and the right barrel printed one inch groups as did the left barrel. Now if only I can get the bullets from each barrel a whole lot closer.

I am going to try IMR 4350 and IMR 4831 and Winchester 748.

I also purchased some Hornady 286 grain Interlocks that I will try out.

Any suggestions on how I can close the gap between the bullts from the right and left barrels?

Please excuse the grammer, it's 2:30 am.

Kindest regards,

Carpediem
