[QUOTE="Catskills, post: 2851243, member: 106302"] [B]I’m a huge T3x fan and the have found they have been the easiest to load rifles I’ve ever owned. A 30-06, 270, 270wsm and 22-250 are all 1/2 moa guns with handloads, and all will shoot just about any factory ammo moa or better. All took minimal effort. I picked up a 7mm-08 and have simply been unable to get it to shoot. Yes, it’s properly bedded in a factory stock, and it’s properly torqued. The crown looks good. I’ve swapped out the scope and rings to make sure that wasn’t the problem. Factory Remington 140s shoot 2-21/2”. Handloads using 139 spire points and 140 partitions and Big Game shoot 3” (I’ve tried different primers including magnums). I’ve tried multiple powder combinations and seating depths, all to know avail. I’ve been thinking perhaps it doesn’t like flat base bullets so I’ll try some Ballistic Tips next. If that fails, I’ll give H4350 a go. If H4350 fails, I’ll probably send it down the road….. Any suggestions? I really had high hopes for this rifle.[/B] [/QUOTE]
