[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 1092021, member: 10755"] I have been shooting/loading the 338WM for 20+ years. Not all rifles like factory ammo, they get much better results with handloading. I had a Ruger 77 MKII in 300WM, it would not shoot any factory ammo well, free floated it, bedding job, then got rid of factory boat paddle stock, put a Hogue on it, bedded and pillars, still no joy. Started handloading for it, like chalk and cheese, from 2.5" groups to .5MoA and even the odd .25MoA group. My 338 is a Win Model 70 EW, it is extremely accurate, less than .5MoA with 225gr Accubonds. If handloading doesn't improve your groups, then maybe you have a bad barrel, it happens, but all the Rugers I have/had were very accurate. Cheers. gun) [/QUOTE]
