[QUOTE="skyfish25, post: 809030, member: 27125"] A couple things to check. * A call to Cooper and check action screws? Just maybe? Have no idea what they recommend. * Check all scope mounts, I know. We both have done it so many times correct. This got me a couple years ago. * It might shoot a lot better after the first shot or two. Or a fouled(dirty) bore. I picked up a Cooper 54 in 6.5 Creedmoor. It groups well, but shoots best dirty. I would not take hunting on a clean bore. I usually shoot a five shot group before I check group size. I always leave dirty if I'm going hunting soon. Nice looking rifle by the way, great chambering IMO. Your 139 gr load might be the ticket. I'd like to see 3 groups of that on a dirty bore. Great bullet, and inexpensive as well. In every hunting rifle of mine Except the Creedmoor, my Hornady bullets were best at .005-.006 jump. If your mag will take that. My Creedmoor seems to like jump, like .080 or more. [/QUOTE]
