[QUOTE="Havard, post: 1767194, member: 107374"] Ok, I have searched on here to try and find the answer to this question, and can’t. So here is my issue; Rifle - Model 700, Gen 2, 5R (1:11.25) .308, 50 - 60 rounds thus far with proper break-in completed. Lapua brass (new), 46gr Varget, Fed 210M primer, 150gr TSX Barnes. I made a mistake in the original CBTO measurement, and failed to check for magazine feed. Single feed, I seated -.027” from the lands and settled on the 46gr of Varget as I got .70 MOA in 3 shots. **This was the best group I’ve seen with this gun. A couple of days before the first hunt of the year, I double checked for magazine feed and found the mistake. I reseated to -.150” off the lands and the groups went to crap again. I’m sure I went about this the wrong way, but my question now is, do I go back to scratch with powder charge considering magazine feed COAL first, or what? Put more rounds through her? Is the excessive jump going to cause problems with all rounds? I’ve tried factory Loads in the following and can’t get any to group; Nosler 150gr Ballistic tip & Hornady 150gr SST. thanks....
