Just picked up a Ruger 1A in 7x57, thought it would be a great round for deer this year, took it to the range, along with a few boxes of Hornady factory (didnt have time to work up a load). Ive had better groups with a shot gun!! Drove my self crazy ( not far to go) Figure the scope was bad, its been kicking around for a while. Went out today and bought a new Leu 2.5x8 and put it all together and off to the range. The same stuff, all over the place, resigning myself to have gotten a lemon, iremebered reading HERE,, about putting a washer or something under the fore arm wood, tried that and still the same thing. Was just getting ready to leave and go cry (thinking a should just use the old model seven in 308, it just always shoots well) The guy next to me returned my staple gun and offers me a few of his rounds he was using in his old military mauser, 7mm. so i could continue to torture myself. I tried it because it was different, 3 shots under an inch!! He was gone and do not know who he was, the bullets were heavier and longer, reloads i guess from the mixed brass. Any ideas?? I have a 1A in 7x57 22'' barrel with a 1x8 3/4 twist. Any sugestion on what to buy? I dont have time to get dies and work up a load and go back to the range, and I realy would like to use the new rifle for opening day wich is monday here. Thanks....Craig
