[QUOTE="riggingslinger, post: 2220223, member: 114019"] I just went to a friends personal range and got recurrent shooting my 300 Win Mag. It had been nearly 2 years since I shot it and had to relearn a few basics including properly shouldering the butt (ouch) . Since you have a new gun and are having trouble with grouping, I would start with the scope mounting. Making sure it is absolutely mounted correctly and the parallax is set for the distance you are shooting. With a new to me gun I would lock it down in my lead sled to chrono and zero a 100 yards just to take any filch or wiggle out of the equation. I hand load so can't suggest a factory load but I think any match grade ammo in the 190 to 210 gain range should produce a decent group. After that I would not rule out a problem with the gun. As far as I know its rare but does happen. Also I use a comp instead of a brake. Its very stable however kicks up a lot of dirt shooting prone on bare ground. Hope that helps. [/QUOTE]
