All,

Thanks for the replys. I will save up and have a gunsmith evaluate and go from there. I just feel the rifle should group better than that.

Scope is a Leupold VIII 3.5x10. I did do about 12 different loads varying the weight charges by .5 gr increments using IMR4350 and 4064 4831 using 180 partitions. 55.5 gr of IMR4350 was the best grouping I got. I like that bullet so I will stick with it.

Other rifles: Ruger mkII varmit .223 shoots .500 to .750 all day with handloads, my Ruger MkII .243 shoots around.750 to 1" as well as my 700 .22-250. So I know its not me

Thanks again for all the advice
