[QUOTE="PGJPJ, post: 1216771, member: 90674"] Yeah, that bullet should basically be a good match. But even if your rifle "doesn't like them" you shouldn't be seeing 5" groups. Your charge range also sounds about right. Sounds like a "back to basics" time to me. Action screws properly torqued. Scope mounting is nice and tight. What scope are you using? A 300 RUM will likely need a pretty solid scope. When was the last time you cleaned that barrel? And yeah (as Mr. brentc mentioned) does it shoot anything well? edit: I'll add one more comment. I've had my rem 700 apart before and not properly reassembled, where the magazine insert was not properly seated. That made for a not so good day at the range (Ok, that may have happen to me a couple times. :) I'd just load to factory OAL until you solve this other problem first. [/QUOTE]
