Default Bullet or Powder?

If you had a gun that you only had one bullet type and one powder type to load what would you do. Sayits a Rem model 7400 in30-06 with IMR4350(just ex) and 150 grn Nos Bts. You tried a bunch of different powder wieghts and seated the bullet everywhere and tried2 difprimers. The best you can achieve is 3 inch groups with the gun.

Assuming the gun is clean and working fine and it was a good rest, tight scope etc. Would you go buy different bullets first or switch powder first, both costing about the same.

Or do you just assume that a 3" group at 100yrd is at good as the gun can get.


(I dont have a 7400 just wondering on which way most would try first. OVerheard guys talking about think at range and was wondering what thoughts on it were.)
