[QUOTE="Lefty7mmstw, post: 1008177, member: 48043"] Your powder likely isn't loaded enough for consistent performance using that light of a bullet. I've seen it a # of times where a bit of condition change is enough to push a good load to the marginal or crappy range. I'd push your bullet weight up to 150-165 grains. I just picked up my 5th '06 last week (deal I couldn't refuse-- the action is worth more than I paid for the rifle with a decent scope on top). I traded the last four '06 for various reasons but a lh lss is a good setup and if I tire of the caliber I'll re-barrel. I plan on running 165-180 grain bullets with 4350 or rl22 under the hood. I may even play around with 190-220 grain bt's to see how ell they perform in the little cartridge. [/QUOTE]
