[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 1090898, member: 5219"] Sounds like the rifle is as ready as possible. You never mentioned the torque used on the action screws. I prefer an inch pound torque wrench for consistency. Sometimes you have to retighten the action screws after shooting. How many rounds have you fired through the rifle? You mentioned Black hills ammo. Have you tried any other brands? You may have to try a variety of ammo to see what your rifle likes. Handloading would allow you to control a wider range of variables when compared to store bought ammo. There is a pretty darn good load that works in most 30-06s I have encountered. I got this from a friend that has loaded for dozens of 30-06s. 165 gr Sierra bullet (please work up to) with 57 or 58 gr of IMR 4350. Seat bullet to fit and feed from magazine. See if you can get a handloader to help you. Or maybe it is time to start doing this yourself! [/QUOTE]
