Problem gun

I would suggest a different brand bullet besides Nosler. Do you get your Nosler bullets from Shooters Pro Shop?

Yes.

I have tried the Accubond 180's and 175 cc and 190 cc.

I have never had a problem getting their blems to shoot accurately in every other gun.

What do you suggest?

Good advice. He is a competent gunsmith. I trust their abilities.

I should mention that I only paid him to re-barrel and chamber a mod 70 action. No stock, no scope, nothing but fit and chamber barrel. I didn't give him a stock to test it in. I told him I'd take care of the rest.

I did the bedding and everything after that.

.5 then 1+ sure sounds like bedding to me. Did you hollow out the pillars so the screws aren't grabbing anything? We're they lining up or were they putting your action in a bind to get them started. I've sure been were your at. Luckily it was a known good shooter so it was apparent very quick that I screwed up
 
Also seen these after market composite a squinch too short which means you have to grind out the factory recess and that's definitely a butt pucker. Luckily I had a friend that was ready to trash the stock so I got to experiment

No, did not drill out screw holes. Will do that.

Yes, screws line up well with action. No binding.

I'll relieve the recoil lug all around, then re-bed properly with space in front.

Can you expand in this? Not sure I understand exactly what you are referring to.

Before you do all that I'd first clean the barrel out really well and then retry the CC's. Maybe try around 20 rounds before moving on the rebedding.

I've had a similar problem to yours when using the Accubond Long Range. On two different cartridges. I use a 200 gr Accubond in my hunting rifle but I've lost confidence in Nosler bullets the last few years. (I have several hundred 200 AB that I bought quite a few years ago)

I suppose if you've seen the bullets you have shoot well through a different rifle then they are likely okay.

This is a good possibility of the issue then. Make sure the pillars aren't grabbing your screws and try it
