11mm group? I assume that was you shooting it and not clamped!
SkeetEDIT: Now realise that you probably have not subtracted the 5.5mm bullet width, as they do in BR...so yes, nice group...especially for a barrel that isn't shot in.
Have you tried a .17 HMR? I shot an 8mm group of 5 at 70, off a bipod and rickety old bench the other day...just shows how good the 17 is, even without really trying.
Yeah, when I bought Tennex, after finding the best batch, we started rotating the barrel, to fine tune the group position etc.
With full bore, I used to start with measureing to the lands, then set a load length at about 8 thou short of the lands, then I used to weigh up batches of Lapua HPBT 168g, so each head was within a specified limit if the next, use pre fired Lapua casses...all the gubbins. Molly coated etc!
