Accurizing my No1Mk111

I cut a strip of cardboard 1/2 inch wide and long enough to wrap around the barrel, these were then masking taped into place around the barrel. After a short period of time, I had the "packing" done and put the wood back on the rifle. 

A stripper clip was loaded with 150 grain Hornady and another was loaded with 180 Hornady RN, I shot at 55 yards.

The 10 shot group went into 2.5 inches, my first barrel packing job had worked very well.

 

Good point Shami, I did oil the shims, I thought they may get wet. Now that I know it works, I am going to try a better shim material, no matter what it is, it will still have to be oiled.

I will probably take it apart after hunting season and redo the shims and check for any rust. If that happens, a little oil and a bit of steel wool takes care of it.
