hog hunter bolt hard to work with a round chambered

[willyg09]

Well I took the rifle out and shot $18 remington cor lokt 150 grain and it took 5 rounds to zero but i had a .75 1st group at 100 yds and then on my second group something magical happened,
i shot a 3 round group into one ragged hole at 100.
And i want to note my rifle is a bell and carlson WITHOUT the tang floated. It is torqued to 65 in lbs with a wheeler fat wrench. And that its just because i didnt want to sand on a 250 dollar stock. Let me know if anyone has questions about my hog hunter, i would be more than happy to help you set yours up

Thanks again fellas,
Will

I think you meant the headspace of the reloads was wrong. They need to be bumped(the shoulder) back .002 thou and the bolt will close on the lake city brass. If you reload keep in mind that military brass is thicker and you need to start low and work up as the pressures will be higher than normal commercial brass due to less volume so your top load will be less than say Remington or federal.
