I figured that was going to be rainbow... each cartridge loop another color.  Cooking up my AI death ray currently too. Just waiting on my stock now.

Nothing says Natty Lite like a 700/Burris combo. Perhaps a Natty themed paint job................. Northern Dave can help.

NOPE! I like rebelling against the Conventional "Wisdom" Shooting a light 50 gr TSX ( so far a 53 grainer has killed everything Ive pointed it at...) Just say "no" to moly... Quasi Kiss... Shooting a 1in 12 twist... Shooting a Burris Scope ( dotz) and Faux Talleys... But I did make concessions to the other .223AI shooters here...shooting a Ti stock and H335 as first choice powder ( also loaded up some 4895 as second choice..)

also loaded up some 4895 as second choice I fooled around with some cannelured 55 Hornadys and 4895. I got the groups pretty small, but I couldn't get them to round out. Even at their tightest they were little vertical strings. Didn't you comment on this same phenomenon one time?

I can never remember but the old timers say a horizontal string might be the result of too little powder and a vertical string is indicative of too much powder...or vice versa...but Ive found by playing with it in a floated barrel,you can often get clusters instead of strings... BTW my other .223AI Loves 55 gr Horns w/c and 4895....

This was a regular 223, a bedded, recrowned 700 LTR. It makes little round groups with several other combinations.
