I looked at some of my targets using H4350, where I tested OAL to see what bullet jump worked best. I picked 0.003 off lands but had similar groups further out so once I get the velocity up a little I will recheck OAL. Thanks again for the advise.

Thanks for the replies. I will go back to and work on this a little more before switching bullets. I have played with seating depth but probably not enough, iI followed bergers instructions. 4350 and 4064 did not shoot well a various charge weight and 4831 did which is why I settled on it. I...

Yes, 2650 fps. Barrel length I believe is 22.4".

So I have been working on developing an accurate hunting load for my Tikka Forest in 30-06. I shot various factory ammunition to determine which which bullet weight and type it seems to like. The 165 grain range stood out with federal fusion, Remington corlokt and HSM 168gr berger all coming in...

Here is the picture with the leupold rings installed, nice and level. This isn't a knock on Talley, they have a great reputation and I expect they will make this right.

Appearance it is the rings, when I installed the front ring/base in the rear it was very close to level. I will contact Talley on Monday. Thanks for the suggestions. I really wasn't sure if what I saw as a flaw was really a flaw. I would expect an off level ring could throw off windage...

Thanks you for the shim advise. Hopefully I don't have to go there. Hopefully it is just the rings.

This is a new gun, scope and rings so these are the only rings I have for the gun. The Talley light weight rings and bases are 1 sold piece of aluminum. I know I could get Leupold bases and rings that are windage adjustible just wasn't sure how to tell if the base or receiver is off. Guess I...

I have a Browning X-Bolt Hell's Canyon Speed LR, it is chambered in 6.5 PRC and I mounted a 5x20 Trijicon on high Talley light weight bases/rings. I did lightly lap the rings and made sure the 2 piece bases where lined up. When I went to the range to sight it in I ended up using all but 1 MOA of...

I did load longer OAL but don't recall how much.

I use HS-6 in 40 S&W 180gr Lead loads. Works really well for me, I use standard primers but have heard magnum primers can help

I have worked with Trailboss and 180gr Jacketed HP. From a previous post... "My first attempt at subsonic 180gr XTP in the 350 legend. I resized these to 0.356 for this test. Trail Boss is the only powder I had on hand that I felt comfortable testing. Using an OAL of 2.195 with Hornady brass. I...

I just purchase a Rossi 92 as well, mine has the 24" octagonal barrel. Anyway, I was told to avoid round nose bullets, I am not aware of pointed 38/357 but those should be avoided to with the exception of lever revolution. My Rossi fed SWC right out of the box, my handloads have a flat point...

I have a silencerco hybrid and use it on 2 rifles and 2 pistol caliber carbines. The carbines are shot close enough and the barrels are shorter and thicker so I see not POI shift. In the rifles the AR has the biggest shift it is an 18" barrel and shoots around 1" lower with the suppressor...

According to the original post... "but I want a long gun that will hunt (deer and pigs, medium to short range) and be a decent SD rifle." I think almost any medium to short range rifle will fit the bill for a decent SD rifle, he already has hand guns and shotguns. In later post the OP said he...
