[QUOTE="Long Dog, post: 455820, member: 21540"] Problem: I cannot get my rifle to group. I have shot 251 rounds through the rifle (to include break in). I have worked through the below loads and cannot get consistant groups with rifle. There are no consistency to the groups - Some are flat, some are verticle, some start to look like a group then a flier (or two). Most groups are ~1.5"-2" at 100 yards. Occasionally, I get a group inside 1", but cannot get it to repeat. I have tore down and remounted the scope, swapped to different scopes (US Optics and Leupold), still no consistency. I have gotten some great load data with single digit ES/SD which I would expect to shoot well, yet they still are inconsistent. I am beginning to think it is me, but the rest of my rifles will clover leaf at 100 yards. Has anyone had a gun that gives you fits like this? Could it be just a finicky rifle and I have not found the magic load? Any recommendations, besides keep working through it? I have heard that some rifles won't group at 100 Yards but will start grouping at 200 Yards, anyone experience this? Rifle: Remington 700DM w/ 28" Broughton 5C barrel (1:9.4 twist) W/ 6 port brake (long Shot Rifle Built); Nightforce 5.5-22x-56mm w/ Nightforce Rings on a DE 20 MOA base Loads: 300 SMK - H1000 88 Grains to 94.5 grains in .5 increments - bullet length 3.680 - 3.650; FED 215M primers - 300 SMK - Retumbo 92 - 98 grains in .5 increments - bullet length 3.680 - 3.650; FED 215M primers [/QUOTE]
