I’ve been doing some work on my number 1s. Pretty well done with the .22/250;
Pretty well done as of today with the .257 Roberts. Installed a Jard Trigger and a Hicks accurizer. The rifle was an honest one inch, inch and a quarter kind of shooter before the upgrades.
loaded six rounds at 43.5 gr. H380 The rifle had never gone more than three rounds with out walking up and to the right. My thoughts were to fire three, if the group looked ok I would chrono the next three. First three landed due east of point of aim. Dang, slight correction to the 2.5 x8 fired three more. I”m done searching for a load. I’ve called the boys at Hammer they think they can round up a few more of the 92 grain Hunters for me. The heck of it is 100 grain ballistic tips have to date shot better than the Hammers.
I’ve got the new trigger in the 275 Rigby and that has helped. I’ve just about completed the in-letting for the Hicks, we will see how she does next week
I have the Hicks added to the 300 HH but she is still just a 3/4 to One moa rifle. But now she no longer strings as she get hot. Also looking like she’ll now shoot anything to about one moa and the same relative point of impact.
375 doesn’t need anything. Three shots touch almost anytime I shoot her.
