[QUOTE="johnnyk, post: 889409, member: 307"] If I started with a new Remington today, first I would check the bedding, action screw torque, adjust trigger and then reload for it. Try those 85gn Sierra GK HPBT. They are incredible in my Win70 HVB .243. They have shot sub 1/2 MOA at 500yds for me. I'm talking 1-1.5" groups with a couple groups having bullet holes touching. This is with IMR 4831 powder and CCI BR2 primers. I guess I was so in to "Match" bullets (i.e. MatchKings, AMax's, Bergers, etc.) that I overlooked the GameKing. Hmm, hunting bullet with match grade accuracy. That's how the Berger Hunting VLD started. The 90 and 95gn Nosler Ballistic Tips also deliver good accuracy out to at least 700yds. Have only tried them this far. Good luck with your funny shaped barrel Remington! :) JohnnyK. [/QUOTE]
