Hi all.
New here. I have a model 10 HP in 22 250 top bolt release. I can t get much better than .8 moa.
Using precise reloads 50 vmax varget , lapua. Fed br. Primers.
The Fore end is little flexy.but free floated.
I also have the newer model ,bottom release black barrel shoots .10 .20 all day.
Any one have experience with that model. Am I chasing the wind?
I would think it would do better.. what twist? My 22-250 is 1/12 and drives tacks with 55gr /38 gr h380 and 37.6 of h380 for 62gr penetratorsQuote:

It is a 12 twist. I started with 55 g , 53, 52, 50 was the better of them .
I really thought this would b a great shooter, perhaps it is , I just need to dig deeper.
Should be.. 22-250 is a fast and flat round.. it could also be it just needs a few bricks of ammo shot down the tube before it settlesQuote:

Is it bedded in the stock? Does the barrel contact the stock?

It's pillar bedded. No barrel contact I removed a little material to make sure. Check with a dollar bill when it was on the sand bag.Quote:

Yea lighter bullets.
Bed that front recoil lug. With JB weld
There needs to be a lot of room between stock and barrel. More like credit card width.

Ok So to update.Quote:

Torqued 40 and 25 increased on 2nd group by 5
Wipe out to clean the barrel.
2 -5 shot groups . .6 and .3
All good ... thanks much savage shooters.
Hope this helps someone else.
