[QUOTE="rafterjg, post: 2972698, member: 128419"] Recently bought a Howa 1500 barreled action in .308, I bought the oryx chassis and glass bed it to the action. Rifle has Timney trigger, mdt 20moa base and the Burris xtr ii scope. When I first got this rifle put together I ran tubbs lapping rounds through it to lap the barrel before figuring out the best load. I bought factory 150,168 and 178gr ammo and put it to the test and can not get anything under 1.5” groups and that’s with 168gr. Any ideas where to start, I tried my best to set this rifle up to be a shooter but I’m coming up short. I have taking the rifle apart to check bedding, action screws, scope base rings etc torqued. I know I’m not going to get .25 moa from this rifle but I was hoping to be under 1” [/QUOTE]
