I'll grab some TNTs and SMKs to try out.
What's the go-to for Grendel headspace gauges? The Forester ones look pretty nice, any others that are significantly better for this task?
Also, I ordered a new handguard kit and am going to inspect the barrel/upper connection area.
The barrel nut I have on there is salvaged from a different build, so I figured I'd remove that variable.
Lastly, it's entirely possible I'm just a bad shot with this gun. I had it on a Lead sled, so I'd assume that is a fairly consistent way to shoot, but I'm not sure. It certainly won't hurt my feelings if someone figures out I'm the problem, not the gun ????
Woaah! Got a live one!
Every time I have mentioned this over the last fifteen years, the guy who posted their problems got his panties in a knot.
Can you call your shots? If so, what is your call area and did the shots go into it?
If you have no idea what shot calls are, then I would bet you are the problem.
Using a Sierra 120 Match King will eliminate two variables. Powder charge and overall length. Seems like any powder listed for the 120 and used to about 80% the listed charge weight, with a standard overall length, will shoot that bullet to right around one minute plus or minus a bit.
