[QUOTE="locknloadnow, post: 692107, member: 53673"] this is an old thread but worth reviving, the first thing I'd do is choose a lighter bullet i.e. 130-150 grain, preferably 150 grain- and start with the slowest powder, starter loads, working up to maximum load for that powder. If a reduced pressure load doesn't give accuracy, a maximum load rarely will either. That's just my own personal experience. And my own rifles always shoot better with lighter bullets in the 120-165 grain range. When the bullets get on the heavy side, the recoil goes up too, and it's not conducive to accuracy. Forget velocity, the load that kicks the least, usually is the most accurate, because you'll shoot it more comfortably. [/QUOTE]
