A friend bought a cooper long range model 52 26 nosler.
only have shot box and half of nosler accubond factory a129 gr because he hasn't received his dies yet.
it will shoot a couple about 1 inch at 100 yards sometimes
then suddenly it will shoot two to 3 inches and usually to the right and low but not always
we Changed the entire set up , different bases , rings and different scope no change
3 different rests off the bench. 2 different shooters. Proper torque on all the screws
it's free floated , stock not touching barrel.
we will be working on reloading some 140 Berger's when his dies get here.
what do you guys think about this? I have 2 coopers they shoot great.
could it not like the factory load that bad?
i shot my 6.5-284 3 shots touching, swapped to his 26 nosler and shot 2 shots about 3 1/2 inches apart perfectly level with each other. I think that eliminated the rest. I was totally comfortable with the shots that it wasn't me.
we will be checking the seating depth with a modified case
what else should we look for? I'll post some pictures tomorrow of the groups
