[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 659011, member: 30902"] Well the best advice one could give you is to do your very best to replicate the factory loads which are shooting so well for you. My Sendero Rum, very similar to yours shoots the remington and federal factory ammo so well I really see no sense in reloading for it at this point since I'm not out there just burning up rounds "shooting". The attached target is from Remington Factory with 180gr Sciroccos, and the bobcat was killed with the same rifle at 1080yds a few weeks later. You can drive yourself completely nuts trying to get better than 1 MOA groups. Without looking at, weighting all of your brass, checking dimensions, seeing how you are measuring powder etc it's going to be difficult to guide you to doing much better than you are. A lot of it can simply come down to shooting technique/position from one outing to the next, parallax adjustment on the scope etc. As long as I can hit a smaller than MOA target consistently with my first cold bore shot every time I don't chase it a whole lot farther than that. Another factor which could be seriously affecting your groups can be something as simple as changes in wind from shot to shot and length of time between each shot. Best of luck. [/QUOTE]
