Yep. Just make sure the forend dosent move or flex when resting or holding it. My pump loolked floated till i rested the forend on a bag or lead sled.

Take it out amd ladder test it now. Fimgers crossed it tightens up your groups.

sweet!!!!

Sounds like they are 1.5" to 3 moa 100 yard guns on average. Hopefully yours will beat the odds.

If I cant find a load that shoots sub moa with all holes touches my gun goes down the road....but that normally doesnt happen.

I am hoping for better, loaded my two hunting rifles and helped brother with his this year all bolt actions and they went really well. Fell in love with it. I saw a gentleman on youtube shooting his 25-06 and 300wm bars and getting good results so I figured I'd give it try.

Well not where I want to close the book at but moving in the right direction. Shot factories and my point of aim was off, but grouping about 2+". So moved on to testing. 55.5 gr was best group but worst sd/es. Got great sd/es on next 2 groups with about slightly under 2moa groups and I believe some was me as it was getting darker and have a 1×4×24 scope on it. I know this is not great but I have alot to go off now and feel much better. I think I can get this to moa possibly next go rd.
Positives: good deviation, groups getting better, and speed is getting close to 2600fps with no pressure issues I see on brass.
Negatives: mostly just group size although I think that will get better when I start messing with seat a bit more.
Gonna try and hit it tomorrow and hope to improve, not sure where Im going from here but may try a couple different seats at 56gr and keep ladder testing at -.055 seat.
some range pics taken, all groups at 100yards. Imput welcome! Chesty
