ULTRA 223
« on: August 23, 2009, 04:15:36 AM »
I haven't posted in a year or so, but now I am back.  I almost gave up on trying to get my 223 to shoot decently.  I did the o-ring, latch was dry, hinge on the bag, and good follow thru.  Still the cotton pikin thing would not shoot.  Two days ago, I visited back here and realized I might need to relieve my barrel channel.  I did and was astonished with the reults.  Factory Win about 1.5 inch @ 100 yds.  Now the bragging, my handloads using Accurate 2230 powder, Fed case, Win primer and bullet, right at an inch, with two touching!!
There is much valuable knowledge here!!

Short of having a bbl with bad rifling or a crooked lug if you can't get a H&R to shoot straight with all the information here there has to be something wrong with ya. Kurt

It is so satisfying when you get it right. While there are lots of factors that can cause a Handi to shoot horribly, the foreend has probably caused more problems than any thing else; IMHO. Congratulations on getting it right. Good Luck and Good Shooting
Great men have vision and resolve to make dreams come true.
