[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 661490, member: 25383"] and there I was whining and crying because my 700VS was shooting 4.25" groups with hand loads! My throat was so long that I could have shot 100 grain bullets in a .223! But on the otherhand you have to realize that Remington and folks like Savage have to cut chambers for the entire bullet range out there, so you have to also take that in mind. I once bought a used Ruger 77 off a used gun rack that looked pretty good (so much for looks). After giving the rifle a really good cleaning job I started to wipe out the inleting in the stock, and saw part of a matchbook cover where the front screw went thru it. I left it out and the rifle shot six inch shotgun style groups!. Went home sobbing as I got took on this one. It was late Saturday night and I wanted to fix that bad spot, but didn't have any Devcon laying about. I found a tube of Polyquick stick (a two part epoxy putty), and rebedded the front screw with that stuff. Next time out I shot 3/4" groups with the same loads. I finally got it down to half inch groups. Not real bad for a standard light barrel 6mm. gary [/QUOTE]
