I'm about ready to give up. I've been trying to find a load that my Rem 700 7mm08 shoots good consistently and so far have had no luck.
I've tried:
120gr Nosler Balistic tips
140gr Nosler Balistic tips
139gr Interbonds
139gr Interlocks
140gr Corelokts
140gr Accubonds
Varget
IMR4064
H4350
All with No luck I did get 1 sub .5" group with 42 gr of Varget under a 139gr Interbond but that must have just been luck because I shot that same load today and it was about 2.5"
I'm 100% sure all the scope mounts were tight as I just installed a new scope and even double checked after firing a few shots.
I'm thinking I need to tear the rifle apart and free float the barrel because I can't slide a $ bill between the barrel and stock. What else should I do while I'm at it?? I've really been eyeing a Boyds stock for it but may have already spent my Christmas funds on the new scope.
Any advise?
Is your rifle currently sitting in a factory tupperware stock? If so, I would shift this project into park until I can get the stock I wanted. Then, for me it's float, bed, trigger, check for binding, check action screw length, same for base screws.
I hope everything works out well for you.
