I have a A-bolt II Micro and an X-bolt in 7mm-08 and neither of them shoot any factory load worth a hoot. I have had Brownings in .308, 30-06 and .243 and they all shot factory Remington ammo well and several other brands of ammo shot very well. I don't know what's up with the 7-08 caliber in Browning yet but having 2 of the same model and caliber displaying the same traits kinda makes me wonder. Both the 7-08 have been terrible so far but neither has 100 rounds through them and both are showing signs of improving but 4-5 inch 100 yard groups are horrible. The Fereral Fusion 120 grain is the best so far and I intend to try some 140 grain of the same soon.

I have been swabbing every 10 shots and it's helping. I had a .308 that started out a 2-3" rifle that eventually shot everything I fed it under an inch.
