[QUOTE="hawk4974, post: 949868, member: 77330"] I have an old Remington 700 30-06 with a 22" barrel and I'm having a bear of a time getting a load to shoot semi-accurate (1"-2" @ 100). Does anyone have any ideas on what to try? I'm not used to loading a short barreled 30-06 and I'm wondering if there's a trick to it. I've tried my regular IMR3030 and IMR4350 powders with 165's & 180's. The loads I've used have been accurate in Rugers, Winchesters, Weatherby's, Remington's, etc. but they've all had 24" barrels. Do I need to speed things up, slow them down, etc. I know all rifles are different but I should at least have a group less than 6" by now. Someone mentioned that the barrel may be shot out. How do I check that? We bought this rifle from a friend of the family and he received it brand new as a gift and said he rarely used it so I can't imagine that's the case. [/QUOTE]
