I shoot a 22-250 Rem 700 with a Jewel trigger and Lilja barrel. It is 26" long and is an 1 1/8 diam. with 1/14 twist. I average 5 shot .45 groups @ 100 yds.
My gunsmith said to try far of the lands for a test. I loaded 40 rounds to try. Since I neck size only I have lightened up on the neck tension to .252 OD and seated my bullets to .035 off the lands. I am using 34gr of Accurate 2520 with a BIB 52gr bullet. Any thoughts out there about the light neck tension and the distance from the lands which is .035. I have not yet used these loads and it may be 2 weeks until I do. Thanks for the thoughts
