I've heard that flyers are very common to Ruger No 1s and that a lot of it is due to the forearm hanger design and the amount of pressure on the forearm. I've been shooting this with my forward hand holding the forearm and resting the back of my hand in a sandbag so that I'm consistent with the pressure.

I picked up some TSX bullets in 130 and 140 grains and a box of Nosler E-Tips in 130 grains to try also.
