Crackers it does look like the group gets tighter as the velocity goes up.

I have had 3 20 cals and all worked best flat out.

Thanks Trevor. .
I wish we could still the Richards stock. .
I got the for some fun to have a go. It has some of my stuff ups marks in it but its a working rifle.
It just about didn't get to even fitted as on the last coat I dropped it

but it patched up ok..

So the next plan is ...... a need for some speed.
going to hunt down some 10x
Branxhunter is going to try some 2207 or bm2.. thanks mate for helping me with this. ..

Hi crackers,
I think you have already got the info I loaded using the BM2.
If not, let me know.
I wasn't getting much better results than you are with yours. Best was around .5 for three shots. Plenty good enough for fox, rabbits etc.
But not what I was hoping for, I will admit.
One thing I just noticed when I have gone back through my load records, it would appear when I changed scopes on this rig, from 6-20x40 to 8.5-25x50, the groups went down in size.
Have you tried another scope?

Teepee
the scope is new to me but second hand..
I have your load info....
Its not far away its just 1 shot in each group that is off the mark.
it will get there just find that sweet spot. .

Ryan that sounds good. . Can you order camel one as well

crackers17 · Post by **crackers17** » Wed May 14, 2014 11:32 am

So what have you ordered Ryan

A pair of dual grip thumb-holes hopefully. Hoping they will go through in the luggage without question, they are not a B709 item here so more concerned about leaving there I suppose.

if you google "US delivery address for australia" you will find heaps of these

http://www.shipito.com/

If its legal to ship out of US then you may have a chance

A word of warning on Shipito....I've been using them for years, and their service is both cheap and efficient, BUT if it looks like gun stuff (including reloading gear), regardless of whether you think it is OK to ship, they will refuse to do so and insist you ship it back to the merchant at your cost.

MyUS is less fussy, but dearer.
