I put a shilen 24 inch barrel on a savage varmit action mounted on a HS Precision stock after loading and more loading and once broke in at 200 yards first load to work was a Hornadya Amax 105 .010 into lands 28.1 varget, got me a .452 inch 5 shot groups or .21 MOA, Sub 1/4 MOA never thought I would get there, but it gets better, I tried Sierra .010 jump with 29 GR varget .402 inch that is .19 MOA, Cal 6mm BR 1/8 twist. Hope I can do this somewhat often

Sounds like fun....Congrats!!

Trying jamming your bullets 0.010" into the lands. Have seen a couple different 6BR's go 1" at 600 yards for three shot groups with bullets jammed in the lands a touch.

with tight neck i jammed to 1.854 on comparator zeroing calipers, just touching lands was 1.824 I then seated at 1.834that should be .010 into lands
