[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 716486, member: 25383"] My .270 mag started out shooting a MOA with factory ammo (wasn't Weatherby brand). With hand loads I started seeing 3/4" groups with little effort of even bullet selections. I certain it's a .60" rifle with better bullets and a little more effort. I also have a 30-06 MK.V. light weight rifle that started out with similar groups and easilly shoots under 5/8th's groups off a cold barrel. I have a Vanguard in 30-06 (wood stock mid 1970's rifle) that will shoot even tighter groups off a cold barrel. I often shot a 25-06 Vanguard from the same era, that shot sub half inch groups with junky hand loads, but once again a cold barrel is key here. To be exact, I've never seen one that would shoot 3/4" groups with hand loads from any era. Interestingly, I have never been able to make any serious gains in velocity over the factory Weatherby ammo (loaded by Norma). If it won't shoot send it back; they'll make good on it. gary [/QUOTE]
