[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 927397, member: 12995"] I do that anyway... I never expect too much from any factory gun. I buy, unbox, work up a load, and if it doesn't shoot to my expectations, I take it off to the smith... I've been really lucky, as almost all of my factory Remingtons have been shooters. Game, I just worked up a 1/2 MOA load this weekend for my STW, using Berger 180 Hybrids and 7828 SSC pushing them just at 3,000 fps. Blurry pic, but I took it with my phone through my spotting scope. They're 6" targets, and by my estimation, that's about 3/4" outside to outside, so C-to-C would be about 1/2". The one flier was thanks to a stray ray of sunlight that hit my scope at the exact same time I pulled the trigger, and made me pull the shot. So 4 out of 5 (should be 5 out of 5) were in the same hole. Not bad for an old rifle with a high round-count. :D [IMG]http://i436.photobucket.com/albums/qq88/mudrunner2005/005BD6C2-D649-4292-B5E9-83A7B52703CE_zpsrl72pabm.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
