Need some advice for my Sav 10 Precision Car...

When you post on a old thread it brings it back to the top ;) I would not bed a PC10 stock, mine will shoot sub 1/2 moa with no bedding (best was in the .13moa 3rd mark) If you want a crazy nice stock look at the XLR Evolution chassis. The PC10 is good to go as is and try a little quality ammo before doing anything else. FGMM stuff works great!
 
Now, while I was sighting in my rifle at the range last week a fellow shooter commented on how abnormally loud it was and that it's attributed to the short barrel not igniting all the powder before it leaves the tip. It makes sense if you ask me, but he also said that because of this I will notice a significant lack of accuracy due to bullet instability and that using a heavier grain bullet will slightly compensate for this.

This guy is a moron who hasn't got a F'n clue.

First, bbl length has sweet F all to do with accuracy. In fact shorter barrels are demonstrably more accurate. Just ask a benchrest shooter.

Bullet stability is entirely determined by bullet length, velocity and twist rate. A couple of inches less barrel length isn't going to reduce velocity enough to make a bit of difference. If bullet stability is an issue, then going to a heavier bullet would only make it worse because heavier bullets are typically longer and will be slower, both of which will exacerbate any stability issues.

Thanks, ill try some out. ive only been paper punching with MFS for technique practice, but once i get into precision shooting more ill try some out. most of my ammunition knowledge is theoretical and hunting driven. but since a guy cant hunt all year, unless your last name is shockey, ill be spending more and more time(money) at the range. im sure it wont be long before my competitive nature drives me to want tighter groups (more money) :) maybe that XLR will be calling my name by then.

Try doing a little dry fire practice as well at the start of each range day. Get set up as you would be normally but dry fire once in awhile to see if you move at all during the trigger pull. Great ammo = great groups. Cheap ammo will not do nearly as well. Good luck!
 
A brake will reduce recoil and increase noise. Will help to follow up your shots. I have one on mine now. Not needed but nice to have.
 
perfect, ive been reading alot on them. i really wanted one but am finding most forums say they're either the best or completely uneccesary... Now i can justify the purchase. im pretty sure the answer will be no, but does the added lenght of the brake affect my powder burn? im only running 20" and ive heard that there might still be some powder left to burn. dont wanna be missing out on any velocity
 
The brake wont help with that but all the powder will be burned prior to that regardless. I had my 20" out to 1025 yards with factory ammo and no problems getting that far. Don't need to over think it, just get good ammo and set a target as far as you can see :D
