I shoot groups re-crowned then walk forward fit the suppressor then shoot the next lot of groups.

cheers . . my mistake, thats what happens when i try to watch the vid while doing something else at the same time.

that is a fantastic improvement with the suppressor on . . is that what you would expect because its a Big kicker of a cartridge ?

I think suppressed rifles shoot well for a number of reasons -
actually I will probably stop and do a video summary before carrying on with the next lot of mods.

I was surprised to see how much difference the suppressor made, biggest improvement by far. The recrown looked like a small gain at best. I have moved to doing all load dev without suppressor or brakes to avoid excessive carbon build up and get down to 0.3 - 0.6 Moa in pretty much all cases, even with some light weight rigs (6 lbs bare rifle).
then fine tune final load with suppressor for poi. Have not noticed a big improvement in groupings l guess I must have developed a fair degree of recoil tolerance

I have a good target showing suppressed (and chrony attached) vs non suppressed on same rifle with same load but I don't want to clutter up the thread or drag it off on a tangent.
I am watching this thread with interest, are you intending to also true the action?? @Dr. Watson

if I get the projectile I want, going the speed I want, seated at a depth that runs right out of the mag and shoots like this...



Generally from here all I'll keep an eye on is fauling and retained accuracy- I will only go back to the drawing board if one of those becomes a problem.
