The last group I shot yesterday came in at just under an inch. I took all the stock screws loose then tightened down the two rear ones real tight then just barely snuged the angled front action screw. This left a small gap between the barrel and stock that you can see open and close if you squezz them together. This seemed to float the barrel slightly. I didn't have my rear sand bag just the front one or I could have maybe cut it down to 3/4 or less. Anyway I think that load will be my deer load this fall. It was the Sierra Pro-hunter with 1/2 grain below the max of H414. I did play with the seating depth but not much as the magazine is shorter that the throat anyway. I may yet try a couple 140 grain bullets and twiking the 120 a bit more. I don't think I will be able to get the velocity I want with the 140 grains. At least not with any of the powders I have tried so far.
