I'm not convinced this isn't just a massive piss take

Lots of bored people in winter I guess

100% agree
Something a bit strange is going on there, I could be wrong, but it looks like that rifle doesn't want to shoot, but it's fluked an ok group

Try a couple of 5-shot groups at 42 and see if it repeats. If it doesn't, I'd be looking at the bedding; it shouldn't be shooting that badly, even with the worst load
charge weight alone generally won't shrink your groups from 4" to 1"

My neighbour's has a .223 Franchi that won't group better than a fist size @100 been back to shop they said it was all good. He has tried about six different factory loads now.

I suspect a giant piss take, I mean what novice pulls projectiles and weighs powder charges. The whole scenario seems like days of your lives of 1 step forward 2 steps back

I reckon the barrel needs lapping.....

Franchi are better known for their shotguns

I hadn't been following this at all until @Micky Duck asked if I had seen it. I battled through the whole lot over the weekend. I think I've learnt a lot but also questioning whether I'm just too simple with my 223 and 270 whakamole loading. Deer and wallabies have died so I must be doing something right.

Exactly. So much foreplay it would be un-natural for there not to be a climax.

No need to take it to the gutter, it’s just a thread about someone shooting their load.

That’s unfair on people who shoot their loads. This is a thread about spraying loads around.

Only if they pull their shots.

The eventual conclusion will be so, so much a Happy Ending.
