not necessarily. and it's a small sample size, I've just seen it a few times, but it occurs. I just thought the "mini" groups might be a known anomaly, I'm in agreement with DrMike I should just ignore it and look at the whole group, which needs work ;)

These bullets are seated at .21 off of the lands, how am I all over the place on seating depth? Barnes will typically shoot well seated very deep. I guess my Accubond comment was unrelated, just trying to say it does shoot other bullets well at different depths, but that's a different bullet...

I would say just this rifle. I have a Tikka that consistently puts shots touching, but the groups are nicer. I did check the scope and action torque, thanks guys. The LRX, I can't seat any deeper, I'll be out of bearing surface. The TTSX I could go a bit deeper. I can't seat any closer than...

Thanks DrMike. What would your advice generally be to tighten up?

What would you say about consistently having groups of 2 shots grouping, but those groups not grouping together. Pictures to explain. One pic is 175 LRX, one is 180 TTSX, both at approximately same seating depth (deep). When I don't seat as deep the groups just open up. Could it be my scope...

Never used 22 but love MRP. I have read MRP is A grade RL22, not sure if that's true but when I'm out of MRP I'll be trying to find some RL22!

I think this is a good question, if I understand correctly. I've always done a ladder test, then adjusted seating depth. But does adjusting seating depth throw your ladder test out the window? Is your velocity now in a different node? Recently I read a suggestion to shoot a few groups at a...

I had in my mind the blued/black stock entry level model when I spoke. I have one of those, and it is probably my most accurate rifle to be honest. The new roughtecs and veil models are very nice looking too. But who cares they all shoot! I'm in the market for another tikka now.

I'm a huge Tikka fan. Saying that it wins a beauty contest kind of cracks me up though, and I agree 100% - Savages are well, savage looking. It's the barrel nut. But a Tikka isn't what I'd call "pretty." I guess when there's only 2 contestants one of them has to win!

I'm the other Barnes guy LOL

Yes if they told me COAL and the matching CBTO I could figure it out, I'll ask them. Or if they told me length to ogive for the bullet itself

I found them to like being seated pretty tight to the lands and that was Hornady's recommendation when I emailed them

Thanks guys, apparently my question made no sense at all haha. @Guy Miner , sending me a bullet would certainly be the easiest thing to do or I'll just buy a box of them next time I see them. Thank you that's very generous. But I am planning to play with some LRXs first so I will reach out when...

I've never been a Leupold guy, except for one I inherited as old as me. And have shot a few elk with it. Sounds like I should be a Leupold guy from these responses. I use Vortex HS which I can't in complain about, Burris!Fullfield, Meopta. I've always loved Zeiss glass and a V4 will...

That's an incredible story! Good shooting! Thanks for sharing.

What?! We need a longer story here!

What rifle scopes is everyone liking these days and why? Leaving this question vague on purpose!

Sorry to drag up an old one but this is pretty awesome, just wanted to know what barrel length is the 30-06?

I sent some off to a guy with an AMP annealer and paid him a few bucks

This has been a fun thread but my new rifle attention span is short! I am doubling down on the 300 wsm. It's just too perfect for my needs. I want to try to pick up one in a tikka and sell my sako 300 wsm, sounds crazy but I think they offer a little more flexibility for reloading with mag...
