[QUOTE="greenejc, post: 2494701, member: 60453"] I have that exact rifle. Its picky about screw torque and powders, but will shoot Speer, Hornaday and Sierra 180's into .7 in to about 1.2 inch at 100 yards with 55 grains of IMR 4350. It really likes the 178 grain Hornaday match bullets, and the 168 grain Amax works pretty good in it. I find that Winchester and Remington brass are the most accurate, with Lake City being about as good, and I use Remington 9 1/2 primers. I've got about 4,000 rounds through it now, and I set the bullet out a little to compensate for wear. These are 5 shot groups at 100 yards. I do about 56.5 grains with the 168 grain projectiles. My experience with compressed loads is that they can be erratic, and so can a 100% load density. I seem to get best accuracy in all my -06's with loads that are in the 90% to 95% range for case fill.
