During the week I had 1/2 inch taken out of the barrels and as we re-did the throat area, changed the powder type and on Saturday afternoon re-beded the barrels in at the range. I have attached a 3 shot group at 100 yards, measures .287" minus .224 bullet diameter, equals .063" group. :roll:

Played with the load a little today, this group is .371 minus bullet diameter .224 equals .147 3 shoot group.

Well, I finally got to the range and spent the day bedding in the 2 rifles, under very windy conditions I got the 3 shot group down to a consistent group.

Hi Guy, most likely the scope will sit at the mid 40 range but being able to dial up is an advantage. I have a meeting with the gunsmith in the morning to look at the purpose built reamer which has arrived, we are narrowing the neck a little and them altering the Die's to suit.
