Remington 700BDL with Winchester 120 grain PEPs. But that's the only ammo it shoots well. It shoots them into one hole at 100 yards. Everything else it shoots terrible.

I also have a Savage in 308 Win that shoots great.

My 300 Weatherby shoot under an inch at 100 yards with handloads. I have not shot a factory load out of that gun in 13 years. For $75 a box, I just can't do it. :D

Are you talking 25/06 and WW 120 grain PEP?
I used that load in a Ruger 77 bull barrel back in the late 70s early 80s on antelope, deer, coyotes, etc.
Awesome accuracy. Deadly terminal performance.
Great bullet.

I am not much of a bench shooter but I have a Savage 110 in 25/06 that put the last 5 shots touching in a 1 inch bulls eye at 100 yards on its first box of Federal Premium 117 grain. I figured that was good enough for government work so I quit sighting it in at 100 and moved back to 200, lined up the BDC and it put a hole in the same 1 inch Bull at 200 yards. This was off a concrete bench, out of a vice, calm wind, and 70 degrees at sea level but the rifle shoots better than I do and keeps meat on the table. It’s a Nikon Pro Staff 4x12x50 on top by the way, not an expensive combination but a killin machine.

Sorry. Yes, .25-06.

Also have a Sako 30-06 that will drive tacks with core-lokts.

That would be my K31


3 shots at 100 yd. Each square is an inch.

only factory loads I have shot in 25 years are 223, and rimfire, so no comment.

I think about every rifle I have shoots better than I can.

H&r .444, Rem 700 223, Savage 10 308, savage bmag .17 wsm, ruger 10/22, savage 64 .22 , browning BL-22

They all seem to be dead on if I do my part. I guess Ive never really viced them down to see which ones are the most accurate. I worry more about what I'm doing right/wrong.

Seems like even the budget rifles these days shoot sub moa if the shooter does their part.

For me it has been my Remington 700 BDL Deluxe in 270 with Core Lokt 130 gr.

Most accurate rifle is my dad's weatherby Mark v in 257 wby. But we use handloads 117 grain sierria btsp. All my other rifles shoot good with factory ammo.

Night Crawler 01-06-2014 04:54 PM

Rem 700 in .280. Using win balistic tip 140gr. I am grouping touched bullets at 300yds. I am working on building my own loads now no testing yet.
