[QUOTE="ol mike, post: 135184, member: 4683"] 182a , TAKE UP HANDLOADING !! I thought i knew about guns for years and in retrospect i knew very little. Do you use 'real'copper removing barrel cleaner? If not your barrel could be heavily fouled and causing bad performance -2.5" groups-. Get some wipe-out and the accelerator that goes w/it.There are many good ones -shooters choice-,montana xtreme,coppermelt etc-etc..Your barrel has to be cleaned --clean. I use to think oil was all they needed [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]. Go buy a basic rcbs handloading kit and load developement manual + 30-06 dies [get 3 die kit-full length-neck sizing-bullet seating] and just start looking it over piece by piece and you'll see just how simple it is ! I enjoy every minute of loading.My 25-06 which is a little pickier than a 30-06 to load for took me very little time to have it shooting 3/4" five shot groups. Factory ammo is too expensive for me handloading hasn't saved me any money -i just shoot alot more. If you have any questions about the loading process just ask -you'll get quick accurate answers on here. Send that few hundred bucks and you'll be glad you did ! When you get a good load worked up go out and do some shooting at longrange and see what your bullet drops are and write them down and tape it to the side of your rifle. You 'have to have' a rangefinder or change to a mildot type scope. Get a rangefinder of at least 800 yds the more powerful they are the easier they range shorter distances. When sending a bullet at a game animal at longrange it's not a guessing game! Best of luck and let us know your progress--Mike [/QUOTE]
