RE: BOSS or no BOSS
SJ, if I can match the book velocity without going over max powder charge I' m happy. Yea, if the barrel was a true 26" I could pick up a few more FPS, but does it realy matter when shooting 400 yards or less. Accuracy wise, my loads were 5/8" at best (wich is respectable) to groups in the .200" when utalizing the BOSS. Do you realy need that tight of a group out of a hunting rifle, probably not. Sure is nice to shoot em though!
