[QUOTE="Mysticplayer, post: 319866, member: 8947"] Be honest, are you having trouble with the recoil during firing? that is a very big boomer and you give no other specs on your rifle. Flinching or inconsistent form is a huge cause of inaccuracy. Can you shoot other smaller cals well under MOA consistently? Also, did you work up your loads at 200yds? Even though you have a cannon, winds will still blow you around at 300yds. Use wind flags and shoot on calm days. Keep your barrel cool. Do you have a solid fit between the front rests and your stock? Any type of twist and roll or bounce will affect groups. If you are using a bipod, stop unless you know you are sub MOA proficient. A solid bench, pedestal front rest and proper fitting front and rear bags are very important in this tuning process. To get sub MOA groups, you must be ABLE to shoot sub MOA groups. Any issues with your scope? Loose parts? Check your throat length. Can the bullet fully engrave in the lands BEFORE leaving the case neck? Size a case and just seat a bullet into the neck (no powder or primer of course). Chamber and extract. Did the bullet get pushed back into the case? If yes and you have got all the other areas covered, work up a load. If no, then the barrel is hooped as any freebore negates the chance of bughole accuracy. Jerry [/QUOTE]
