FWIW, I have two Remington 700s in 3006, One an ADL, one a BDL. they are from the same era, about early to mid '70s. So the only difference really, is the stock. The BDL will shoot literally anything I put in it, into about two inches at 100yd, though, it shoots 180gr bullets really well (3/4" groups) the ADL will shoot 180s into about 2.5 to 3 inches and 150s into an inch or less. I hand load everything. I own eight 3006s and all are different. If you shoot factory ammo, I would heed the suggestion above about the cheapy Federals. I have never had a rifle that did not shoot Federals well, I almost stopped hand loading for my .243 because it shot the power shock ammo so well. I have had a bunch of rifles over the years ( I presenty own about forty)
