But generally I don't try to "force" a rifle to shoot a particular bullet well, partly because there are so many good alternatives these days.
One of the reasons I started this thread is because I have seven or eight unopened boxes of 154-gr Interlocks, and one of my favorite hunting rifles scatters that bullet all over the place. I really want to use them in that rifle and am hoping to just tweak the powder and/or primer to get them to shoot, but we will see.
Thanks again for all the comments.
Think animating a rifle is a simple-minded practice.
A rifle... does not like or dislike.
How:
- The bullet exits the case.
- The bullet enters the rifling.
- The bullet exits the muzzle.
- The muzzle gas affects the bullet.
- The muzzle motion/position affects the bullet.
Any or all may be a problem.
The problem could be bullet/cartridge/firearm.
