I have a rifle that I've worked up a load for and it shoots very well. However I am curious what would happen if I took this barrel off of this rifle and put it on a different action. How much change in the load would occur if I went from a Remington blueprinted action to a Stiller Predator, which is a Rem. clone? Not saying I'm going to do it for sure, but is this just like starting all over? Ted Kennedy's car has killed more people than my guns | ||

I did that exact thing and found myself going back to the drawing board. I guess the barrel harmonics changed as part of the switchout of the action. | |||

I kind of thought that would be the case, but with the chamber and bbl remaining the same, I was thinking that the harmonics would be very close. Ted Kennedy's car has killed more people than my guns | |||

Absolutly the truth, "any" change will affect groups. Remember, forgivness is easier to get than permission. | |||

JMHO, if you swap barrels you change the position of the barrel in the new action, you change the barrel seating surface to surface fit and the torque of the joint. I don't see how the load performance wouldn't change. It may be to small to make much difference but it also may be a major shift in performance.
