So......! No-one else out there plagued with high-shooting pommie express rifles? Thought so! I have had the privelage of shooting many Brit doubles over the years, courtesy of a gunsmith friend and all my anglophilic shooting mates, and had never encountered this before. Must write to Sherman Bell and point this out....

It might be that my countrymen are generally pragmatic when it comes to shooting, and all such rifles in Australia have already been modified as required to shoot to the sights.

BTW, the crossing evident in the Rodda's target only started with reloads using my home-made neck-sizer, which is 'conservative' to say the least, because I don't have a proper seating die. I haven't built a crimp-die yet, but I'm sure that will fix the problem. (Some problem, eh? Touching at 50 metres...)

The first lot of groups, shot with proper neck tension, produced this target:
Still high though...

André:
I use Australian ADI powders almost exclusively. They are virtually insensitive to temperature fluctuations, and are now exported to the USA for sale as Hodgdon's 'Extreme' range. It's pretty warm where I shoot anyway, only 12 1/2 degrees below the equator!
