ANDY T Posted June 27, 2011 Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 Hi would like some advice from any Unique Alpine TPG 1 shooter on setting up this rifle and problem solving. I just cannot get consistent good groups and i know its not the ammo, scope or trigger, So any tips on setting up this rifle or making adjustments that would help with the accuracy would be very appreciated. Regards Hi all screws are torqued as below system screw sw4 5.0 Nm clamp screw of the gunstock sw4 5.0 Nm How can you tell if a barrel is shot out?

Andy Although not an expert, I'd have thought you need a borescope to see the throat erosion and if there is any 'cracking' in the grooves? How many rounds has the rifle shot?

Seriously though, Skany is absolutely right, ammo is specific to each individual barrel. It might mean you have to change your load by 1 grain up or down, or you might have to try a different powder/bullet/primer/seating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
