[QUOTE="Bigeclipse, post: 916562, member: 52437"] Thanks for the info. The weird thing is I tried several factory loads with my 3006 before I started reloading. I shot federal fusion 165s, nosler accubond 165s, winchester super x 180s and remington corelokt 165s. The corelokts shot .75MOA or slightly better, the other three were in the 1MOA realm...I think the noslers were more like 1.25MOA. Now this is where it gets funny/weird, my XBOLT would not shoot ANY factory ammo under 1.5MOA. I tried like 6-8 different types of ammo...well my very first reloads for it shot .5MOA-.75MOA(I made 3 different batches with different charges) THIS got me REALLY excited!!! I figured dang, that gun shot like crap before so the remington mountain shooting so well with factory ammo is going to shoot as well or better with reloads...so far it has been the opposite. I have tried I think 5 different loads with two different types of bullets and NONE of them shot below 1.5MOA. My next step is to try the different bullet seating depths with the current weight bullets and powder I have.
