RE: Groups
find suitable loads and almost all factory rifles in 30-06 can shoot around the inch/100 yards mark. whether or not the shooter can do the job is another matter. 30-06 can be a handful in some rifles off the bench - especially if you are a beginner. trigger squeeze, sight picture, consistent cheek/stock meld can all go to hell in a hurry when muzzle blast and recoil start to effect you. practice your shooting technique with a gentler caliber before pressuring yourself with group sizes.
