Yeah, I meant to say that the accustock has to be just right, but am not thinking about it when I have it right. Mine is working very well so far as well, but I got that stock out of whack a few weeks ago and it took me two weeks to get it right again. It will throw you into massive tantrums. However, it works when the shooter does his part. The thing that kills me is those flyers that I get that open my groups from .3 to .5 or .6 inches, this thing will make you crazy if you let it, just have to realize that just because one isn't touching the other two or in the exact same hole as the other two that you still may have a .4 inch or better group, and this in its self is astounding from a bone stock factory rifle that will do that consistently. I got carried away at first and caught myself having fits in my head trying to figure out how I screwed something up to cause that flyer, then measured the group and it was .3-.5 inches. That can be shooter as much as it can be the load or the gun. .3 inches is a pretty tight hold at 100-200 yards. my best group to date measured .36 outside to outside at 191 yards. That load was 49.7 grains of 4831SC and a 130 VLD target bullet from Berger, lapua brass, fed 215 primer (old ones in a red box) at 3.187 inches. Give it a try if y9ou have the bullets. Otherwise try 50.3 grains of RL17 and a 140 VLD at 3.21 inches with a fed 215 or a win wlr primer, I get the same results with that load and those primers,I can use them in the same group and the bullets will fall the same place.
Yesterday I had 5 stragglers I needed to download , they were loaded with both hornady and lapua brass, and I shot a 5 shot group with my hunting load as well, which is 51.2 grains RL17 and a 130 VLD hunting and target mixed (2 hunting, 3 target) CCI250 (trying something different) at 3.189 inches COAL. Velocities ranged from 2813-3203, all five of the hunting loads mentioned read exactly 3203 and did it again this morning but one was 3204(dangit!!!) The other bullets were 1 140 grain VLD, and 2 129 SSTs. That is four different bullets, the target bullets have a thicker jacket, 4 loads, 3 powders two brands of brass and 3 primers with a whopping 390 fps extreme spread, all fired across a chrony. 10 total shots, ONE 1.2 inch group. You don't have to point out that my gun is not zeroed. I will do that next weekend. Average velocity was 2980 if that matters to you! ;D You made a wise purchase, I have to say again.
Apologize for the size of the photo, I don't have a decent photo editor on my laptop and I am at work.
P.S. i am only half bragging, and on the gun not my shooting or loading, the other half is for your encouragement Kendoka. this gun has 270 rounds down the tube so far and some may say my barrel life is half over, I may be completely wrong but I don't think it is. I clean it every 20-30 rounds still, and it seems that it helps some with carbon fouling. Also I have to say that unlike all of the articles said, Mine shows only 6-10 fps difference in velocity from turning the brake on, some higher, some lower. having it open does seem to open my groups 1/8 to 1/4 though with most accurate loads.
