Rossi 243 accuracy?

[Big Daddy K]

Any sugestions on how to improve accuracy on this little rifle? Shooting 100 grn bullets for whitetale and pigs. 25-150 yds.

Right now it is ok but I think it could shoot better. What about the o ring deal I heard about. what about a limb saver de cellerator or whatever it's called.

Is this a single shot rifle? Can you give more load date your using powder & load weight,primers and bullet type and Mfg.. Are you seating the bullet just a few thousands off the lands and do you crimp or not crimp. Last but not least what kind of groups are you getting and at what range.

Bumpity bump bump.

Well good luck to you then.

Sorry res.

I was shooting blue box federals. I know they are cheap but shoot ok. Gun is a single shot.

I get pretty good groups at about a 100. Say 2" or so shooting from my tailgate on a bag of camo and a bow target fro a rest.

Not looking for sub moa everytime just good enough for a 10 year old to kill a deer with. It's really there now but like I said any little (simple) tricks to get it better would be appreciated.

Will be shooting Winchester 95s on Friday to re-check and adjust zero. Hope to use the Winchesters for hunting.

try two things here;, if you are testing off the bench, make sure the front swivel, which is also the takedown screw, is totally loose, almost ready to twist out of its' threads. shoot several groups with diff rounds like this, and let cool at least 30 seconds between shots.
After you do that, put a little hard rubber pressure pad up front, or for the time being, fold up a little piece of paper, and put up front, under thebbl, just at the tip of the stock. leave the screw loose still. try several more diff ammo with 3 shot groups, still wait between 30 seconds, for shots.
then try that same pressure pad, but start to tighten the screw on the front swivel. once you feel tension, try some groups with it right there, then tightent 1/2 turn, try some more groups there, then another 1/2 turn, try some more groups.
Allways wait at least 30 seconds between shots. this will take some time, 2 or 3 hours, and lots of ammo. but you will find a sweet spot. mine was with not tension on the takedown swivel, pressure pad up front.
