Crikey,your a wealth of knowledge!
It was one of the accurate handloads that came with the gun. I've fired a few more with no dramas so not really any the wiser. I'll definitely count to 10 if it...
Sounds like this is what happened and sensible advice. I was thinking maybe the firing pin was not striking hard enough but I've fired a few more since with no problems. Pretty unnerving when it...

Hi all. I have a Carl Gustaf rifle that is horribly inaccurate with Hornady ammo but extremely accurate with the homeloads that came with it . Any ideas why this would be? I don't load my own and...
