Range Update
Just wanted to thank all who posted advice on my challenges. Here is my update:
1) I floated my barrel by using sand paper.
2) I reduced my velocity by going up to a 300 grn. Scorpion PT Gold / Harvesters Crushed Rib with 100grns of T7 or 80 grns with the 245 grn. Barnes MZ Expander Boat tail / Harvester's yellow boat tail sabot.
The results were great. At 75 meters ( 82 yds. ) I'm shooting cloverleafs. At 100 meters (110 yds. ) I have 2" groups.
The only question is the Scorpion PT Gold a quality bullet? I plan on hunting with it this fall.
Thanks again. Your advice saved the day!!
