[QUOTE="Ldigio21, post: 1869549, member: 40244"] In my experience if you try multiple loads , powders, bullet types and weight bullets and the gun is that difficult it's time to sell it or have it fixed. I have traveled down the same road and had my eyes opened when I sent a Browning A bolt to Hill Country rifles and had a Benchmark barrel put on , along with their truing of the action and bedding. It is a 7-08 AI. When fire forming brass I used the least accurate bullets I had to burn them up. Now matter what I fed through it it would not group over 1' and usually around or under 1/2" Today I took my recently received from them Browning A bolt formerly a 270 converted to a 280 AI. I tried to get it to shoot Swift A frames and it was not liking them very much. I got it down to 1/2" but the load was too hot and less power loads did not do well at all. I loaded Federal Trophy Bonded tipped and without any messing around with different powders, loads, seating depths 0.155" at 100 yds and 1" at 300 yds. So the moral of the story is some work on that rifle will give you what you want . Or, as I did for decades, struggle with a rifle that won't shoot [ATTACH type="full" width="601px" alt="fullsizeoutput_2190.jpeg"]185357[/ATTACH] Below is a 3 shot group 300 WSM 180 grain factory Federal Premium Trophy Bonded tip bullet on a steel plate. 300 yards.
