[QUOTE="Bbear, post: 1216912, member: 7898"] FWIW, here are my thoughts/suggestions: Is the barrel free-floated, as others have said? If it is, that's one thing check-marked off the list. What bullet(s) have you tried? For some reason, some guns just don't like a particular bullet. One of my 25-06's can't keep partitions of any weight inside of a 3" circle at 100 yards. I have had my best luck with the AB 110's. Have you removed the action from the stock and re-tightened the action back into the stock? I mean actually removing the action from the stock and checking the stock for any potential problems, THEN putting it back in and re-tightening the action? I have heard of people removing their actions and when they put it back in they place a layer or two of a plastic milk jug between action and wood on the front action screw to give the barrel some clearance. I've never tried it so maybe someone else can chime in on that idea. Both of my 25-06's have over 2000 rounds through them. One has over 3500. My CLTO on one is 3.38 and on the other 3.35 using the aforementioned 110 AB's. As such, I tried my 'old' load and neither would shoot worth beans. Ran through various powders like you did and finally found 7977 to be the magic dust for both of them. One likes to be .1 off the lands w/ 59.5gr 7977 in Nosler brass with WLR primers and the other one likes to be .05 off the lands w/ 60 gr. 7977 in Norma brass w/ BR2 primers. Going through all you have and trying everything everyone here has suggested and it still doesn't help, I would suggest tomato stake and a new barrel are in order. OR send the d**n thing back to big green. [/QUOTE]
