harrygrey382 1 Posted January 9, 2011 Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 OK in case anyone is interested: I have solved the problem (I'm fairly sure)... It was the scope bases. I forgot to mention (in fact I'd forgotten entirely) the rear base holes didn't QUITE line up. I dressed them with a tiny rats tail and thought nothing else. But after putting this problem out therefor a while I got a PM from someone on another site who has the same rifle in 30-06. He had the same problem and symptoms and changed his bases, problem solved. I'm cheap though - and areldited mine. It was also at the same time my remmy 80gr pills ran out and have switched to Hornady 100gr RN. After some load testing I got a touching 3 shot group: So there it is - an example of the need for good D&Ting. Or an ad for areldite, you choose. Thanks for everyone's help by the way. Thought I'd put a closure on this topic so if anyone has the same problems in the future you may have the same problem Quote Link to post
