Power, all 16 Montana's I've had would shoot something sub moa. A couple of them shot darn near everything sub moa.
I bedded all mine but I have never "resorted" to a pressure point. All barrels were free floated, but all shanks/chambers were bedded.
Montana's can be finicky, no doubt. But if you're flexible and allow the rifle to tell you what it likes, rather than try to force it to like something you want, you'll find something very accurate.
This 7-08 for example will not group a Partition... but loves a boattail. And it definitely prefers bullets heavier than 145 grains, even though I have more than a few tiny groups with the 140 NBT. It's far more consistent with the 150 NBT!
I think the 150BT being more accurate than the 140BT is pretty much across the board with all rifles.
Totally agree... have seen it often enough to know it's true.
Dang, I better try the 150s then, because mine shoots 140's about like Brad's shoots 150's. Know where I can get some 2000 MR? I just got some 150 Scenars, gotta give those a try too.
