jetdriver71 Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 Anyone out there with experience in reloading for an SVI 5" gun with an AET barrel. I'm trying to find an accurate load that meets major PF. I have a SVI sight tracker 5" barrel with extended dust cover in stainless steel. Love shooting this thing but I'm having a hard time getting it to group well. I'm shooting from a rest at a 25 yd. target. I've been using VV N320 5.4 gr. OAL 1.23". Thanks for any help. What do you consider or expect a comp gun should group? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Too_Slow Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 You don't mention the brand or type of bullet that you load. That can and will make a big difference on accuracy and grouping of shots. That said what several of us here are using in our SVI's with AET barrels is 5.2 of Titegroup under a MG 180 CMJ at 1.230 OAL. It normally gives us about 172 PF.

Ssanders224 Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 My new load for my 5" Bedell gun with AET barrel is: 180gr Xtreme plated bullet 4.8gr Alliant American Select 1.17" OAL 170 PF Shoots very nicely, and I guess its pretty accurate? Ive never really taken the time to shoot for groups. I can put several shots pretty close to the center of the A at 25yds if I halfway take my time, So thats good enough for me.

jetdriver71 Posted September 27, 2012 Author Share Posted September 27, 2012 Oops. Sorry. I'm using starline brass and MG 180 jhp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjb45 Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 I do not load to 1.23 but only to 1.185. This allows me to reduce the load to 4.8+ to make major. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What kind of group do you get...are you using vvn320? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjb45 Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 I only use VV320. Yes, in all my barrels: Schuemann, Kart, and Nowlin this load is very accurate. I have used both MG and Zero 180 grain JHP and Zero 200 grain bullets. Quite frankly, my guns are more accurate than my skill level. With my poor eyesight, 25 yards accuracy is hard to be consistent, however at 15 yards which is easy with my eyes the load produces 3-5 shots with one hole.
