I have had one pain in the --- rifle. Rem 700 adl synthetic stock 22-250. I tried different powders,primers,bullets. Only found one combination that would shoot under 1" consistently, later the gunsmith checked the chamber before removing the barrel, headspace was way long. That rifle never saw a factory round, so I can't say my handloading was better than factory. I had a new take off factory barrel put on, it headspaced perfectly. And shot almost all my leftover hand loads very well.
