    You need to get a hold of some h4831sc.

    Flyers and action screw torque

    It’s a good thing I bought 7000 rounds of the same lot.😋

    Ralston Ranch shootout

    I was in squad 7, and had a blast. I only scored 50, but I screwed up on 2 stages and dialed the wrong dope. I completely blanked both of those. Shoulda woulda coulda. 😆 For as windy as it was, I was pleased with my shooting on the other stages. I’m ready to go back next year!

    NRLX22 Ralston Ranch Shootout

    Nothing like a little 100 degree heat, and 30 mph wind to spice things up! 😆

    September Topstraps Rimfire Challenge

    Man I wish I was closer. I’d be all over this!

    Flyers and action screw torque

    I shot a 30 round group at 305 yards last night. Flyers remain under control. I had a 15 mph right to left cross wind. I put about .5 mil too much in for wind. But a decent little group. A little under 6”. I was rushed, and really just trying to prove my 300 yard dope for a match this weekend.

    Flyers and action screw torque

    Of the ammo I’ve tested it’s one of the more consistent. But I haven’t tried every ammo out there. Right now I’ve got over 10k rounds of it, so I’ll be shooting it for at least several months. I’ve been surprisingly accurate out to 400 yards with it. I can’t dial past 400 at this time, because I...

    Flyers and action screw torque

    I know it’s not the norm, but I’ve used this particular loctite in other applications. It’s very mild, but works as intended. It is also easy to clean and remove. I’ve never used it on action screws before, but I was just nervous that at 20 in/lb they’d come loose. I have a big match coming up...

    No not necessarily. I understand torquing bolts. I always lubricate my action screws before torquing. So it should be very similar between the lube vs the loctite.

    Flyers and action screw torque

    All groups were 10 shot groups. But yes, my best groups were at 20 in/lb at 80 yards. The groups with the flyers were at 45 in/lb and 100 yards.

    Flyers and action screw torque

    I’ve been playing around with torque settings on my action screws. I shot close to 30 ten shot groups, and all I did was try different action screw torque settings. It was incredible how much just a few inch pounds would make to a group!!! All of my...

    Try multiple torque valves.

    Flyers and action screw torque

    I’m going to look into this. I’m going to inspect the action and stock to see if anything jumps out at me. If not, I’m going to look into having it bedded.

    Flyers and action screw torque

    It’s not an action screw alignment issue. I believe the mating surface between the action and the bedding block in the stock just aren’t a perfect match. So the tighter I torque the action screws, the more stress I’m putting on the action.

    Flyers and action screw torque

    I started at 45 like the instructions say. It shot well honestly. But again, out of 10 shots there just seemed to be one flyer. So went up to 55, and worked my way back down. Here’s a group at 100 yards with the action screws at 45. I was surprised honestly that it liked them so low. I was...
