[QUOTE="RT2506, post: 597190, member: 10178"] Bed the action and float the barrel and shoot from a SOLID sand bag and press benched position. Have your trigger pull down to at least 2.5 lbs also. Then you need to start handloading. Belted cases shoot best with a case that just kisses the shoulder. Seating depth makes a world of difference in accuracy. Were you measuring your ammo from bullet tip to base of case? All bullets are not the exact same length from base of bullet to tip. You need to measure you COAL to the o-give of the bullet from the base of the case. The base to o-give of the bullet will be the same length if the bullets are of the same lot made on the same machine. I have shot a bunch of so called "not accurate" rifles and found out that the fix was to tighten up on the nut behind the stock. :D [/QUOTE]
