[QUOTE="VenatusDominus, post: 2628810, member: 117869"] My buddy had the same issue with a CA in 30 Nosler. He bought it specifically for hunting in California, which requires lead free ammo. He could not get it to group less that 2" with monolithic bullets, after spending weeks on load development. He is an experienced reloader and regularly shoots sub 1/2 MOA with all of his other factory rifles (Savage .338 Win Mag, several Ruger 6.5 CM, Ruger 6.5 PRC and a Browning A-bolt in 7mm). He had a local gunsmith examine the gun. He scoped the bore and noted a land that extended into the throat saying that it would likely never shoot sub MOA, except with the heaviest bullets. My buddy was visiting family in Utah and stopped by CA factory and left the rifle with them. A few weeks later he was back in Utah and picked up the gun. They had fired it with factory 210 Accubond and produced a group just under an inch. My buddy explained that the rifle was for hunting in California and needed to be able to shoot copper free ammo. Their response was that the gun could shoot sub MOA, meeting their guarantee. Based on his experience with CA, I would never buy one of their products, especially after seeing many similar accounts online. [/QUOTE]
