Default RE: 338 Win Mag Accuracy

I own a 1980 Model 70 XTR Winchester in .338 Win. Mag that has given me excellent accuracy without being touched. It consistantly shot around 1 moa with factory 200 gr. ammo, until I could no longer purchase anymore of that particular lot number. Succeeding factory ammo of a different lot number opened the groups up somewhat, but still shoots sub-1.5 moa regularly. I feel confident that handloading will give me more precise ammo. Just haven't done it yet.
