Hi,
MikeG, I know you shoot a .257 M77 also, and it sounds like you get better results than I. I have only gotten good accuracy from 75gr bullets. I've tried 100 gr Hornady and Speer spitzers and 117 gr Hornady BTSP's with R22, H4895, Varget and AA4350. The best accuracy I can get with any of these is 1.5 inches and that's not real consistent. Any tips on bullets or loads? I notice that I have to seat the Hornady bullets with the cannelure below the case mouth due to the short throat even though this is a long action rifle. I've been really frustrated with this rifle, but I'd like to get it shooting!
I've not had to give up on any other rifles before! ID
