[QUOTE="Savage16Hunter, post: 1898619, member: 64123"] Also, keep in mind what your goals are for each load and gun. You mention that you are looking for a "hunting load", so a goal of 1-1.5 MOA is a reasonable one for the 30-06 if you are going to be keeping your hunting range below 400 yards. It's easy to get carried away with all the tricks and tools for maximizing accuracy that you will see discussed on this forum. What I did for prepping 6.5 Creedmoor loads for my heavyweight Savage LRP for 1000 yard matches (0.2 - 0.3 MOA) is way over-kill for my 6.5 Creedmoor loads for my Savage16 Lightweight for hunting (0.8 - 1.0 MOA). I don't know how experienced a shooter you are, but your actual shooting technique could be a significant cause of your group variability. You've got some lateral dispersion as well as vertical dispersion in your groups, so could wind have been a factor when you were shooting? [/QUOTE]
