It looks like the super accurate groups were done with longer, heavier bullets in .223. I have not see any data for longer bullets in the 22 250. I am going to order my dies today. Also I will speak with Jason to see if he has heard of a super accurate 22 250 load. Since I varmint hunt do I really care about 5 shot groups when I usually get only one shot on the critter. I need cold bore first shot accuracy. I need to check with some other boards to see what their members are doing.
Shoot safe!

Hi Sidewinder. I can not wait to get my scope mounted correctly and finish my break in. I am hoping for better results. Is your gun the varmint? And what caliber. What scope are you putting on it? If you do not reload try Hornady Superformance. They shoot great in my .223 Ar's and no my Tikka.

Hi ShtrRdy: Thanks for your response. The lower part of the magazine is held in place to the top with four bumps where the two plastic pieces mate. It was apparantly jostled enough for them to disconnect allowing the two pieces to seperate. They went back together ok. Last night I “played” with the rifle a bit. Took the barrel and stock apart to clean the barrel. I live in humid Houston and do not want any rust starting.
I am still trying to decide how I want to mount my scope. I am going to speak with Jason some more about his set up. I like the idea of the Piccatiny rail but I also want to mount the scope as low as possible. Trying to get dimensions on rings and such today. I will be mounting a Zeiss 6.5 to 20, 50 mm with 1″ tube. this scope is fairly long and the Piccatiny may give me my best mounting option.
I went crazy yesterday and purchased a new stock, base plate and magazine. I just did not care for the plastic on the gun. When I am done with all of the upgrades I hope to have an excellent varmint/bench gun. I will keep the forum informed.

I am going to try the rings that came with it. I will be mounting a Zeiss 6.5 to 20 varmint reticle on the rifle. Looking forward to going to the range. Shoot straight!
