[QUOTE="RT2506, post: 1402427, member: 10178"] I once almost sold off a rifle because I could not get it to shoot anything. It was a Rem. 700 in 7mm Rem mag. I ordered 100 new cases and started working up loads. It did not matter what powder and bullet I tried the best it would do at 100 yards was about 1 3/4" groups. When I ran out of new cases I part sized/neck sized with a FL die the cases and loaded up the best load that I had tried before. After shooting 1 shot it was on the paper. I fired shot 2 and could only find that first shot bullet hole. I fired shot 3 and still only that first bullet hole. I thought, great now it can't even keep shots on the target. So I fired shot 4 and 5. After those shots I looked good through the spotting scope and that first shot hole was still the only one in the target BUT it did look a little larger that I thought it should. I walked down to the target and almost fell over. ALL the shots had gone almost into the same hole. That rifle turned out that it would shoot almost anything you put in it well under MOA if you used a case that has been fire formed and part sized. So strange things do happen. [/QUOTE]
