[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1072963, member: 12995"] That rifle should definitely be shooting better than 1 MOA. My 5R .308 Win shoots 1/4 MOA. I've never seen a 5R that wouldn't shoot with minimal work. I would bed that action, make sure all the action screws are torqued to 65 inch-pounds, and make sure the barrel is free-floated. Also, if it continues, I would have the barrel scoped by a gunsmith. Also, your particular barrel might not like that powder. I've had several rifles that didn't like H1000 or Retumbo, and regardless of load workup, it just would not shoot. I swapped powders and worked up a load, and the groups instantly shrunk. Sometimes it could be anything from your brass, primers, bullets, or powder, all the way up to hard-parts like your barrel, action, or stock. You just have to do some load work and testing. I would get the bore scoped by a gunsmith to see if they can give you better advice as to which direction to go. [/QUOTE]
