Couldn't find any 75gr Amaxes yet so have a bunch of the 75gr BTHPs to try also.

Agree with you on the stock. Hope it shoots well in spite of it. Already emailed B&C encouraging them to pony up�

I bet it shoots everything well.

If only that were the case�

+/- 3" groups with everything I ran through it, mostly n the vertical. Firing pin hole definitely needs bushed. Cratered with everything, even mild loads and punched the primers on one of the heavier loads. Magazine box can't bind. Scope base holes cannot press on the barrel. Scope bases were torqued with Borka torque wrench as were rings, ring caps and action screws. The only thing I can figure may be the limber stock and semi-hard rest. Put a knit cap on top of the rest to soften things up but did not help any.

Any other ideas?

John


What about headspace? Lots of possibilities here.

Just out of curiosity, have you measured the distance to the lands with several bullets? The RAR's have pretty short throats, which can be a good thing.


I enjoy handguns and I really like shotguns,...but I love rifles!
