Bullet selection is pretty limited in Canada for this caliber. Barnes are reasonably easy to get, Woodleighs show up only very rarely, and Swift does not export to Canada at all. The rifle is a Heym PH 88B. Each barrel on it's own is extremely accurate, but the composite group, not so much unless the load is reduced. With the reduced load, it is child's play to tear the centre out of the bullseye with the composite group. I will try other bullets, and maybe other powders and will get the velocity up toward full power to see what happens. I do appreciate all the good advice everybody has shared - thank you! I suppose I was hoping that with a bullet that large/heavy, I could live with the reduced from full power load so the gun regulated well. Looks like I'm headed back to the load bench and lots more range time!
