    I have shot a lot of the load below with consistent results.
    –Sierra  HPBT (MATCH) 1380  69 GR
    –BENCHMARK 23.2 GR
    –COL: 2.260
    –WOLF SR primers
    –AVG GROUP SIZE: = .548
    If you can also try the Sierra 65 GR GK. Even more accurate for me.

    Thanks! This is very close to the load that I have narrowed down to. My OAL is 2.280 and just fits in the mag.

    Ok guys….this is going to be very anti-climatic  :-

    Free floating the barrel only marginally helped accuracy (100 yard groups). It was worth it to me for peace of mind, but that's about it. I just had the barrel threaded for my suppressor. So, I will be out again this weekend to do more testing and will post the updates.

    Maybe the next step in this accuracy test is to bed the rifle. I know the tupperware stock is not the best for bedding, but I plan on doing it myself and feel I won't be out anything by trying it.

    FYI….
    The loads I have been testing have been exclusively Benchmark and Varget Powders with 69 SMK's and 75 Amax's. I am leaning towards shooting the SMK's as per the short OAL length that we are limited to in our mags. Also, the good news is that all the groups with all the different loads are very consistent at around .75 to 1 MOA without fliers. Very consistent triangle shaped 3 shot groups.
