Looking for a few suggestions load wise for a Ruger M77 made in 1983. It came with a box of 100 grain Remington Corelokts. It didn't seem to like them at all. So just curious what some have found that seem to shoot well before I buy a bunch of ammo or components.
Thanks!!!
On older tang Rugers, make sure that you tighten the front action screw Farmer Tight. We're talking 80 inch-pounds or better, more than any other bolt gun I know of. Then try your Core-Lokts. They should shoot better.
If not, try 100 Sierra gr SPs and 75 gr Hornady HPs. I personally would try IMR4831 or IMR4350 behind the 100 gr, and IMR 4320 behind the 75.
If these don't shoot--and they shoot well in every .243 I've ever loaded for--sell the rifle here on the classifieds. Someone here would love to take on a lost cause.....
