[QUOTE="blackburbot, post: 2018231, member: 31562"] I had a 300win mag in a Sako finnlight, close to same issues. Multiple shooters in all weather conditions, -20F to 85F with what seemed like **** near every factory load. First 2 were touching at 100 yards, third was slightly off... Fourth was a bit further out. And everything thing would drift out to 1.5MOA or so. Let the rifle cool off, and yourself to cool off because you just dumped $1500+ on a rifle that says it's under 1MOA. Shoot another rifle or .22 to verify that you remembered how to shoot from the past 20years. Pick up the 300WM again and same spread pattern. We, in our backyard wisdom, chalked it up to barrel heat. Let the thing cool down between shots and it was good. Treat it like a semi-auto and a $100 surplus SKS shot better. No matter how mad we were and swore that if I just slam another round down range it will start to group better, it didn't. Take your time with it and treat range shots as you would hunting shots, similar form and shooting positions. And how often are you jamming 4rounds at a critter that isn't either on a full tilt run anyways [/QUOTE]
