What Would You Or Did You Do

[Tozguy]

I shot 18 rounds and all 18 would fit in to 1 of those 1 inch squares. It's going to be hard to find a 'really' accurate load that it likes. May have to do load development at 200.

First Joe congratulations on your barrel work, excellent results!
Second, must remind that when you get to the level of accuracy shown in post 35 it is not just the load that counts but other things like wind reading, bench set up and skill all have an impact. You can't fix any shortcomings in those areas by load development.
If you can shoot groups as shown above, at will, then I would not question the load for now.

Looking forward to seeing your before and after bedding comparison.

Well this is a before bedding scenario. 3 shot groups. .146 ctc & .360 ctc.
