OK educate me. What was Rem 243 twist in my early 70's rifle , and what "should" it have been? I'm thinking a 6mm should easily shoot sub MOA?
Mine shoots 1.5- 1.75 MOA free-floated, with factory ammo, also with the several hand loads I tried several years ago. Didn't shoot any better wearing the unmodified factory stock, tho it wears a home-whittle now. I recently tried some fore-end tip pressure (folded grocery receipt, and found it WILL shoot certain factory loads sub MOA. Or it did that session. Fed 80 gr, & Hornady Whitetail 100 gr. And one it won't. Rem 95 gr Accutip., which didn't shoot any better with the bore cleaned, everything else left unchanged.
Now I just have to get it bedded with the right pressure....and choose the right ammo...
Be it noted that over the 40 years I've owned it, the rifle has killed everything I attempted with it - moose, bear, sheep, caribou - with those crappy groupings. But still.....
