i have a ruger mark II that the best i can get is a 1 1/2 group at a hundred yard. does any one know of any thing i can do to fix my problem

Welcome to AR wyoming boy,

I load for more than a couple .284's but we will need to know all the details first.

How old? How many rounds down the tube? How hot? Cleaning regimen? What's your bench set up?

Don't forget, lotsa meat put on the table every year with 1.5" rifles.

Wyoming Boy Some of the Ruger rifles have a long throatand seem to be a little fussy about what bullet they will shoot . Bullets with a long sloping ogive do not group as tight as some bullets with a shorter ogive.I have found that the 160 gr Speer bullet grouped as well as any bullet in a couple long throated 7mms I have owned. I have also found that IMR 7828 did very well. Start at about 65 grs and work up carefully to a max of approx 70 grs. These were safe in my rifles but no guarantees with any other rifle. I hope that helps.

What's the twist in Ruger 1:9.5 or 1:10 ?.

I've got loads for my Mauser , Tikka , Browning .

What's ya goin do with that there bush whacking caliber paper punch or Huntin ?.


If your hunting with it what's the primary animal and do you prefer 140 160 175 grain bullets

in who's brands ?.

Ruger’s get coppered up pretty quickly. Clean the copper out. Work up a load with IMR 4831 and a 150 grain bullet and be happy the rest of your life.

I have been using Win780 this spring in my 7Mag and so far like it quite well.

Hello Wyoming Boy, where are you??

I know this is the realoading section but trigger jobs and bedding are often necessary on Rugers. I have done tons of both of these on older and current rugers and it makes a big differance.
