[QUOTE="dfanonymous, post: 1545449, member: 97050"] Hmm. I’ve got the same rifle and in the same stock. Shoots sub moa with factory 178gr eldx (precision hunter) and even better with handloads. That being said, there seems to always be issues with remingtons quality control over the last years. Anyways, I use threadtite on the action screws, I put my scope on right, I get rid of palalax swim, I keep the rifle level when shooting, I torque the action screws to to about 70 in lbs if I remember right, etc. I DID try to do my reloads a couple thous of the lands (178 eld x handloads) and they were horrible compared to the factory ammo. I used something like 44gr of varget and I ended up seating the bullet down to the same depth as the factory and it was moa. I fine tuned from there. Most remingtons tend to have a decent amount of freebore so I wouldn’t chalk it up to that. I’m almost positive it’s a harmoic issue of a type [/QUOTE]
