[QUOTE="el matador, post: 988791, member: 12193"] Hope you get it figured out. Maybe this sounds dumb but I don't think it has been mentioned...how often are you cleaning the gun? My factory Rem 700 could only go about 10 shots before accuracy went to crap. It was a very picky barrel and would only shoot under 1" with the most perfect of handloads. Some barrels will shoot 150 rounds without needing to be cleaned while others need it quite frequently. Also some barrels are just super picky! Trying 5 or 6 different bullet/powder combos may not be enough. I finally got fed up with my picky Rem barrel and it's being replaced by Pac-Nor. Most of them will shoot well with the right load but not all of them. If you haven't already: Get a good trigger or trigger job Bed the entire action AND chamber portion of the barrel Work on precision handloads - neck size, weigh powder charges, etc. Try quality brass such as Norma These things all helped tighten up my Remmy a little.
