[QUOTE="MavPA, post: 1216248, member: 97010"] I have a rem 700 LR (26" barrel 10 twist) in 25-06. This gun is giving me fits. I have tried every powder/weight combination from Varget to Retumbo with numerous primers (rem 9.5, CCI BR2, Fed 210M). Nothing groups from this gun, all groups are 3-4" at 100 yds The scope is not the issue, i rechecked torque and the scope works fine on my 270 win. I thought maybe my scale was not consistent so I started using 3 different scales, it is not the scale. Brass is cleaned (sonic and tumbled), neck sized, primer uniform, flash hole debur, cases sorted by weight, etc.....all the stuff that has worked on the other 30+ guns that I have developed accurate loads. Barrel was broken in using the 1 shot 10x, 3 shot 5x, 5 shot 5x method and is cleaned every 15-20 rounds I have shot the barrel hot and cold. I do not like the remington trigger, but it has been adjusted to the lowest setting (about 4#), I should be able to get better than 3" groups with that trigger. The only thing I haven't done is change the distance to the lands. I usually find a powder/bullet and then adjust the distance. What do you do when nothing groups? Just pick a powder/bullet and start playing? Any suggestions? What am I missing? I am about to take the barrel off and use it as a tomato stake [/QUOTE]
