[QUOTE="Bigeclipse, post: 995804, member: 52437"] I honestly thought the rifle was able to do better than 1.5 MOA but now I am unsure. Last year I bought 3 different loads of factory ammo. 2 premium grades a 1 box o remington corelokts. Both premium grades shot right at 1.5MOA. The core lokts actually did better at right around 1 MOA BUT I bought another box of core lokts this year and they shot poorly at about 1.75MOA, obviously they were a different lot # as the first box so now I really am not sure if the rifle in its current state is capable and I will probably bed it this winter, although I have NEVER bedded a rifle before and we do not have gunsmiths near is who do this. As I stated above in the post...I am sticking with this load for this season and do not mind limiting the range of my shots. I have the bullets and might as well use them and really dont feel like wasting my money on factory rounds. If I cant get these to group any better with some seating tests...and the best I get is 1.5-2MOA, then my shots will be no more than 200 yards for this season which seriously is fine for me as 90% of my hunting is shots 100 yards or less anyways. I will certainly work a new load after hunting season is over. Thanks for the tip on hornady btsp...I will look into it. [/QUOTE]
