[QUOTE="TracySes23, post: 1338423, member: 52763"] Only 60 rounds thru your rifle. I'd try changing your load some up or down your powder charge. I'd be flinching on a load that heavy myself. I bought a new rifle 5 years ago & even with hand loads it never seemed to shoot well. I tried everything except factory loads. It was depressing to say the least. I was thinking maybe it was my age, I was 70 at the time. Finally I invested in a premium barrel from Shilen & after getting it sighted in, I was no longer depressed. I still ain't as good as I was when I was 30 years younger, but I don't feel so bad anymore. Now I'm 76 & can't see those fine crosshairs on a 36X target scope well. They sometimes seem to disappear. Changing back to a lower powered scope with a thicker crosshair solved that problem. But it sounds to me you're doing pretty good! [/QUOTE]
